Thompson leaders in Central Florida recently supported Family Partnership of Central Florida at the Fore Our Kids Annual Golf Tournament. ⛳️

Community involvement isn’t just a corporate initiative—it is a fundamental part of who we are. We believe that showing up for our neighbors is what truly makes a difference, and we’re proud to drive a positive impact both on and off the course.

CROWN STATE OF MIND 👑

Partnerships drive impact. Plain and simple.

This week, Justin Ellis, our Chief Revenue Officer at Thompson, spent time with the team at The Joy FM in Tampa, building something bigger than awareness.

We’re talking about real action.
The reality is simple.

There are more children in foster care than there are loving homes ready to welcome them.
That’s why partnerships like this matter so much.
🎙️ Platforms like Joy FM do more than share stories, they help move people to step in:
🤝 They connect us with families who may have never considered fostering until now.
❤️ They remind us that showing up for a child does not require perfection, just a willingness to care.
At Thompson, we are focused on one goal:
A Home for Every Child

And we are not getting there alone.

We are grateful for partners who use their voice to support foster families and show up for the kids who need it most.
If you have ever thought about fostering, or even just learning more, this is your moment.

140 Years of Impact 💜

This May, Thompson marks 140 years of serving children and families, a milestone worth honoring. But the real story isn’t about the past. It’s about what we’re building next.

Nine years ago, Thompson faced a defining moment, losing nearly $5M annually and reaching only a limited number of families. Since then, through intentional growth and strong partnerships, we’ve expanded across five states, grown to 600+ team members, and now serve thousands more children and families each year.

Learn more about where we’re headed and the impact we’re making on our blog.

Discover how Thompson is building the future of child and family services through innovation, growth, and 140 years of life-changing impact.
