Thanks to leadership from All Star Children's Foundation, our team is grateful to be part of the ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency) Framework Learning Collaborative! We're delighted to link arms with many other caring agencies as we strive for a more trauma-informed community and develop shared language across organizations. We look forward to seeing how the ARC framework will strengthen our toolbox as we work with children and families.

We're grateful to the Bishop-Parker Foundation for helping advance trauma-informed work in our community!

We would like to extend a huge thank you to St. Martha Catholic School for partnering with Bridge a Life to serve foster, adoptive and kinship families in such beautiful ways. Your heart behind your service stands out so strongly. We are very thankful for the time and effort that you put in to serve the community. đź’«

Recently, they’ve supported our families in so many meaningful ways — and their recent partnership with Bridge a Life for Serve Day was another beautiful example of that generosity in action.

Their impact has included:

• Ready-made Meals for our Stew Crew Program
• Donating 100+ goodie bags for our child serving events, including snacks, activities, and uplifting messages in every bag
• Creating moments of joy, comfort, and connection for children and families

Our volunteers and families were so touched by the intentionality behind every detail.

We are so grateful for the heart of service St. Martha’s brings to the families we have the honor to serve! 🤍
