Grateful for our friends at The Fostering Foundation who move mountains for kids in our community! 💙
Partnerships like this remind us what’s possible when organizations come together with a shared mission — to make sure every child has the support, safety, and love they deserve.

This week reminded us just how thankful we are for the partnerships that make Marion County stronger.

One of our team members said “yes” to a sibling set that had been removed the night before. Because of the incredible programs at The Kimberly Center, these children were already fed, bathed, rocked, and loved through the night.

Between their gentle start at The Kimberly Center and the support of The Fostering Foundation adding a few more outfits to their new placement bags, providing a bed, and making sure a car seat was ready—everything came together seamlessly.

Knowing these little ones were cared for every step of the way with full bellies, clean pajamas, and hearts already shown gentleness and grace truly meant the world to us.

To our friends at The Kimberly Center, we thank you for being such a vital part of this mission, for loving so deeply, and for helping carry the weight that so many children and families face. You are a true light in this community.
