Dear Friends,
As summer begins to wind down, a new school year is just around the corner. For most children, back to school means picking out a backpack, meeting a new teacher, and reconnecting with friends. For children in foster care, it can also mean adjusting to a new home, a new school, and an uncertain future.
That's why your support matters so much.
This year is especially meaningful as Friends of Foster Children celebrates 40 years of serving children and families in our community. For four decades, generous supporters like you have made it possible for thousands of children to receive the advocacy, stability, and encouragement they deserve. Together, we've helped children navigate life's challenges while reminding them that they are valued, supported, and never alone.
As we celebrate this milestone, we are also looking toward the future. Every child deserves the opportunity to begin the school year with confidence. Your generosity helps make that possible. Whether it's providing essential school supplies, supporting educational programs, or ensuring children have access to the resources they need to succeed, your investment creates lasting change far beyond the first day of school.
Anniversaries are a time to reflect, but they are also a time to recommit. The needs of children in foster care continue to evolve, and our mission remains as important today as it was 40 years ago. With your continued partnership, we will keep building brighter futures for the children and families who count on us.
On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and most importantly, the children we serve, thank you for being an essential part of our story. We are honored to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to writing the next chapter together.
Here's to a successful school year and to the next 40 years of hope, healing, and opportunity.
With gratitude,
Jane Denny Richardson
Executive Director
Friends of Foster Children
