From staying at our shelter to now working here, Kim’s journey with KVC Missouri is a story of hope and gratitude. 💜

“KVC has changed my life in more ways than one. Being able to go from staying at the shelter to working at it has been amazing. I will forever be grateful to KVC for allowing my son and me a place to stay while we got back on our feet, and now I’m grateful to be part of a company that helps so many families in need.”

This November, we’re especially thankful for the families we serve and the team members who bring hope and support to every family they meet.

Let’s give a round of applause for Zack, Foster Care Case Manager at KVC Missouri, for being nominated for Kindness Changes Lives! 💚 Zack’s dedication and commitment to the youth we serve is on display every day. Here’s what a coworker had to say about Zack:

"Zack went above and beyond working with a client on his caseload that we could not find placement for. Zack was not on call, but he offered to meet me at the doctor with him after 5 P.M. He ended up staying the night in the office with him due to the circumstances. Zack chose to stay the night in the office when he didn't have to and it doesn’t go unnoticed.”

November is Adoption Month! 💛 Every child deserves a safe, loving home — and sometimes that home comes through adoption from foster care. While reunification with birth families is always the goal, adoption can be a beautiful, life-changing journey for children and teens in need.
