The Freddie Mac Foundation and the Washington Capitals are teaming up to help raise awareness about the more than 6,000 children currently available for adoption and living in foster homes.

"Every weekend home game at Verizon Center... will be a 'Freddie Mac Foundation's Wednesday's Child Game', when fans will have a chance to learn more about the plight of foster kids and find out what they can do to make a difference in a foster child's life."

The games will expand on the Wednesday's Child program which airs in several cities nationwide and has helped find homes for more than 1,000 children. Read more at EarthTimes.org.
