Dear Friends,

September is Kinship Caregiver Month, a time to honor the grandparents, relatives, and close family friends who step in with love and dedication to provide safe and nurturing homes for children in foster care. Their compassion makes a world of difference, and we are proud to support them through the programs you make possible.

Your generosity helps us continue offering resources, guidance, and encouragement to these caregivers and the children they serve. Together, we are building stronger families and brighter futures.

We also invite you to join us for our Quarter Auction on Monday, September 23rd! This fun and lively evening is a wonderful way to connect with our community, support foster children, and make a lasting impact. Bring your quarters, your friends, and your enthusiasm! Every bid helps us continue our mission.

Thank you for standing with us and with the children and families who need us most.

National Kinship Caregiver Month

September is National Kinship Care Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the grandparents, relatives, and close family friends who step up to care for children when their parents are not in a place to. Kinship caregivers provide stability, love, and a sense of belonging during what can often be a difficult and uncertain time. At Friends of Foster Children, we know how vital these caregivers are in helping children remain connected to their family, culture, and community. This month, we are proud to honor their commitment and celebrate the powerful role they play in shaping brighter futures for children in Palm Beach County!

Community Partnership

We had the incredible opportunity to partner with Chef Nicole Fey and Culinary Studio for their culinary clash event! It is a food network style competition with each chef being paired with a nonprofit. We were proud to be represented by Chef Fey and be there to support her. You can find Chef Nicole at her restaurant Aquasan!
