The Compassion Connection We exist to strengthen families impacted by the child welfare system. Won't you join us making our communities stronger?

AMAZON ONGOING/RESTOCK WISHLIST: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2W487YX83V1A7?ref_=wl_share The Compassion Connection wants to build community with those on the foster/adoptive journey. The Compassion Connection exists to be a resource to and to assist those in our communities who might need assistance with clothing, household goods, basic essential daily needs, and support. Our primary foc

us for this ministry is for ANY and ALL who need help in our community along with a specialized focus for assisting local foster/adoptive families. Our desire is to demonstrate God’s love by meeting significant human need through loving others whether that be our neighbors and communities or neglected children. Our desire is to provide critical resources that help to ensure and create better outcomes for families and children (in/out of foster care). This includes support to community bio-parents/guardians, foster parents and adoptive parents. The Compassion Connection is 100% supported by donations from and work by volunteers within our community.

Happy Father’s Day 💙 Today we celebrate the men who choose to show up.

To the foster dads who open their hearts and homes…
To the adoptive dads who choose forever…
To the kinship caregivers, grandpas, uncles, mentors, coaches, and father figures…
To the dads working hard to reunite with their children…
To every man who provides safety, encouragement, love, and hope…

Thank you.

At Compassion Connection, we see firsthand how a caring, consistent adult can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Thank you to the fathers and father figures who love through the hard days, celebrate the small victories, and remind children they are seen, valued, and never alone.

We also recognize that today can be difficult for many—children missing their fathers, fathers separated from their children, and families carrying grief or complicated stories. We are thinking of you today as well.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Compassion Connection. ❤️

Can You Help a Foster Family?

A social worker reached out today with a special request.

They are working with a foster family that would love to have a basketball hoop and a few basketballs so all of the kids can play together at home.

Do you have a portable basketball hoop that's no longer being used? Or would you be willing to donate new or gently used basketballs?

Simple gifts like these create opportunities for connection, healthy play, and memories that last long after the game is over.

If you can help, please send us a message or email [email protected].

🎉 Birthday Wish Needed! 🚲

We have a social worker reaching out on behalf of an 8-year-old child whose birthday is coming up.

We’re hoping someone in our amazing community would like to help make their birthday extra special by donating a new or gently used bike in good, safe condition.

If you’d like to help, please send us a message or email us at [email protected].

We also have an option on our ongoing Amazon wishlist that if purchased will direct ship to us. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2W487YX83V1A7?ref_=wl_share

💙 Thank You, Thrivent Members! 💙

We are grateful to share that Compassion Connection recently received a Thrivent Choice® Dollars grant through the generosity of Thrivent members who directed their Choice Dollars to support our mission.

This gift helps us continue providing clothing, essentials, comfort items, and support to foster, adoptive, and kinship families throughout our community.

A special thank you to the Thrivent members, Shelly Radke and Tasha Grindland, who chose to invest in the children and families we serve. Your support makes a difference and helps ensure that children entering care know they are seen, valued, and loved.

If you're a Thrivent member and would like to learn more about directing your Thrivent Choice Dollars to Compassion Connection, we'd be happy to connect with you.

Thank you for helping us make an impact—together. 💙

💙 Why We Do What We Do 💙

Yesterday, a child entered foster care. Today, he was able to celebrate his birthday with a few toys chosen just for him. Moments like these are why Compassion Connection exists.

When children enter foster care, everything can change in an instant. Through the generosity of our community, we're able to provide essentials, comfort items, birthday gifts, clothing, and support to help children and families navigate those first difficult days.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who makes stories like this possible. Together, we're reminding children that they are seen, valued, and cared for. 💙

Every year, countless items end up in school lost and found bins. Thanks to Nancy Arnold, those items are finding a second purpose and blessing children in foster care.

Nancy faithfully picks up lost and found items from Zimmerman Schools, washes every piece, folds and sorts it all, and then delivers it to our Resource Center.

Because of Nancy’s dedication, children entering foster care have access to clean clothing and essentials when they need them most. What might have been forgotten by one child becomes a valuable resource for another.

It’s people like Nancy who remind us that compassion often looks like simple acts of service done faithfully behind the scenes.

Please join us in thanking Nancy for the many hours she invests in serving local children and families. ❤️

Foster care is beautiful, meaningful, exhausting, chaotic, and holy work. Foster parents, we see you. ❤️
