Fostering Connections - October 2026 Recap!
We believe connection changes everything ...
So thanks for connecting with us! We are excited to share how your support is making a difference!
Goodbye October, hello holiday season! We are so grateful for your support as we help caregivers help vulnerable children in our community.
Here is how we served the foster/adopt community this month:
We love every opportunity to get out and make connections, whether it's meeting families in need of resources or compassionate individuals looking for opportunities to serve - we believe connection changes everything!
November is National Adoption Month, and Family Photo Day is one of our favorite events of the year to honor and celebrate adoptive families!
The foster care and adoption journey can be a lot to navigate, and making time to capture special family moments don’t always make it to the top of the priority list. It was an honor to give some amazing families this opportunity to create memories they can cherish for years to come!
We are so thankful to Jamie Michelle Photography for sharing her time and talents with our families, we can’t wait to see all of these beautiful family photos!
Donations to our local foster care closets are an essential resource for families navigating the foster care and adoption journey! We are proud to partner with multiple closets in the area to provide new and gently used items for families to "shop" when needs arise. If you have items to give or would like to learn more about hosting a drive, we would love to connect! You can complete our Resource Connection form or email heather@fostering-connections.net.
Speaking of our foster closets ... some of our shelves are looking a little bare and we need your help! Our local foster closets are in need of personal hygiene products! These items go into first night care packages that are delivered to families receiving new placements and they are available in our closets for families to “shop” as needed! By coming together as a community, we can help lighten the load for caregivers and remind children that they are seen, valued, and cared for.
Let's turn our gratitude into action!
You can donate items in person at Palmer City Hall from Nov 1-15 or you can shop our Amazon Wish List to have them shipped straight to us. All donations received in the month of November will go towards our Hygiene Drive.
