Holiday Celebration at Dave & Busters

We had an incredible time celebrating the holiday season at Dave & Busters with our foster parents, youth, and employees! It was a night filled with fun, food, and games, bringing everyone together in the spirit of joy and appreciation. Thank you to all who joined us. We look forward to another great year ahead.

Foster Youth Shine In Church Nativity Play!

This holiday season, three of our foster youth, Brian, James and Abby brought the spirit of Christmas to life by participating in their church’s nativity play. Their hard work and enthusiasm were on full display as they stepped into their roles as a shepherd, an innkeeper, and the radiant sun, adding unique warmth to the traditional story. These young performers not only demonstrated their talents but also showcased the power of a foster parent’s support.
