A Letter from the Executive Director

We stand at the threshold of a new year, and I am filled with gratitude for the unwavering support and collective spirit that defines our incredible community that supports Friends of Foster Children. As we reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year, I am reminded of the profound impact that compassion and unity can have on the lives of our most vulnerable members—our children.

In the coming year, let us continue to collaborate, advocate, and innovate to ensure that every child experiences the love, care, and opportunities they deserve. Together, we can build a future where every child can thrive and reach their fullest potential.

As we turn the page on the calendar, let us embrace the possibilities of the new year with open hearts and open minds. May the spirit of compassion guide our actions, and may the bonds of community grow even stronger.

I am incredibly proud to be part of the “Friends” community that places the well-being of our children at the forefront of its priorities. Thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your tireless efforts. Together, let us make the coming year a beacon of hope for every child we serve.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous and fulfilling New Year.

With gratitude,

Jane Denny Richardson
