In June, We Love Like Jazzy!
This year, Love Like Jazzy is extra SWEET - because we are celebrating Sweet 16! Jazzy is a former foster youth who inspires us every day with her big love and sweet spirit!
We believe that every child should be celebrated and when you give to Love Like Jazzy in the month of June, every dollar will go towards our Celebrations fund. We want to help make special moments even more special for kids impacted by foster care - birthdays, graduations, adoptions, baptisms, baby showers and anything else our special friends are celebrating!
When you make a donation of $16 or more, we will send you a free Love Like Jazzy wristband! You can wear your heart on your wrist and help inspire everyone you meet to love big and stay sweet - just like Jazzy!

Snacks are a small way to make a big difference!
In the month of March, we invited our community to help us snack-drive and fundraise for a great cause! We aren’t just buying snacks - we are helping amazing caregivers and children to feel seen and supported by their community.
This initiative directly supports our upcoming Family Camp! Opportunities like this are an essential resource for families to experience connection, community and irreplaceable memories.
It’s so much more than snacks!
Make sure to follow us on social media or subscribe to our Monthly Newsletter to see your generous contributions in action. Our upcoming family camp will take place the first weekend of May at Jellystone Park - where 27 families and nearly 100 kids impacted by foster care and adoption will enjoy an amazing weekend of rest and fun family memories!

Consistency Changes
Everything!
"Just as the pandemic started, we said yes to an eight year old boy. The world around us was upside down, and pretty soon the world inside our home was too. There were so many days we didn’t think we would make it through, but those challenges showed us what we need most - connection. Because of the connections we were able to make, with a support group, therapists and a village that saw us through, we were able to provide what he needed most - consistency."
- David and Heather Poole, Foster Parents
Kids in care need people they can count on.
You can support kids and families, consistently, every single month by becoming a recurring donor. Those donations help to make sure families have access to the connections they need that sustain them in this journey.
Connection and consistency changes everything!
In the month of December, we want to encourage you to partner with us all year. When you become a recurring giver, we will send you a free gift to say thanks! We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store with you on board!

More Than A Meal
The Burns family are no strangers to the excitement of welcoming new children into their home, as well as the immediate challenge of meeting all the needs that come with a new placement. Foster parents are often called superheroes, but they will tell you they are just ordinary people who said yes!
One simple and meaningful way to take something off their plate is by sending a meal. Whether a family has just welcomed a new placement, is walking through a medical emergency, or facing a behavioral health crisis, a meal can be a lifeline of comfort and support in the middle of the chaos.
This September, we’re setting a big goal: to collect 50 meal gift cards for our foster and adoptive families. Every donation made this month will go toward purchasing these gift cards, or you can send a gift card directly by email or mail.
Together, we can remind our foster families that even though they are pretty super, they don’t have to do it all on their own!

Love Like Jazzy!
Jazzy came into foster care at 11 years old. Her first night in the home of strangers, she arrived with nothing but the clothes on her back and a small box containing the last vestiges of a life she would have to leave behind: her school bag, two stuffed animals, and a mismatched pair of shoes. This is the reality for most children entering foster care via an emergency placement.
If you’ve had the privilege of meeting of Jazzy you know that the hardships she has experienced in her life do not define her. She is a ray of light in our dark world. Jazzy teaches us every single day what it truly looks like to love like Jesus. She makes every person she meets feel like they are the most important person in the world!
Throughout the year, we highlight stories like this to remind our community of the incredible impact we can make together for children and families impacted by foster care and adoption. Your contributions help us to make sure that kids like Jazzy receive a first night bag with clothing, hygiene essentials, a Bible and a comfort item - a few things to call their own when they have lost so much.
Join the FC mission to connect kids and families in need to essential resources and Love Like Jazzy!
