📚📖 A huge thank you to the South Omaha Library and Julie Humphrey for allowing us to share about Release and the tremendous need for foster parents in our community.

Our Foster Care Recruiter, Peter, had a great time speaking with potential foster parents at the library! He is always looking for opportunities to answer questions and help people take the next step toward becoming licensed.

Thank You to The Water's Edge Church for blessing our foster parents with a Valentine’s night out. We are so grateful for your ongoing support, partnership, and love for our foster families! 💗

💗 A Valentine’s Gift for Foster Families 💗
WE were honored to partner with Release Ministries to host a Foster Parent Day Out as a small way to say thank you. While foster parents enjoyed a well-deserved date night, their kids had a blast with food, games, crafts, and a safe, welcoming space... including our sensory room.

So grateful for our amazing volunteers and the incredible foster families who trust us with their children. It was a joy to serve you! Happy Valentine's Day! 💗

As we close out National Mentoring Month, we are thrilled to recognize Teniya Lowe and Billy Dickson as our Mentors of the Year! 👏👏

“Teniya received mentor of the year because she has gone above and beyond in her mentoring role. She’s a student, an active member at church, works at the Hope Center, and has 3 mentees. She’s done an amazing job of balancing personal life with mentoring and has done things for her mentees that we don’t expect our mentors to do, yet she did them anyway with a sacrificial heart. She mentors because she wants to do life with these youth and follow them into adulthood.”
~ Rebecca Watkins
Female Mentoring Coordinator

“Billy is a wonderful choice to represent the heart of mentorship within our program.
Billy exemplifies dedication and compassion in his service. He has shared prayer newsletters, authored two books, and remained actively involved in mentoring for years. His creative use of art to help youth express their emotions and navigate life’s challenges has made a meaningful impact. Whether working with youth from foster care, two-parent households, or single-parent homes, he has consistently demonstrated excellence and empathy.
Please join me in celebrating Billy Dickson for his remarkable contributions and unwavering commitment to our mission here at Release.”
