📣Foster, Adoptive, & Kinship families! 📣

We want to come around your family in support and help make your kiddos feel celebrated, seen, and loved!

Come join us on July 25th for our annual Back-to-School event ✏️
It’s a drop in event; however, if you want to take advantage of a free haircut, you must make an appointment!

We will have your kiddos school supplies list printed for them to shop their own supplies, and they can also pick out a new backpack, and shop the Hope 4 One closet for an outfit and pair of shoes!!

*You MUST register to attend - this is how we know what supplies to get and what lists to print for your kiddos - so we cannot accommodate walk ins.🤍

This is not just for the Bradley County foster community – we serve families all over and if you’re willing to drive to our event this day, we will serve you! 📣Please send this to a fellow foster, adoptive or kinship family that you know!😘

REGISTER HERE👉🏼 https://forms.gle/dmBd2woCzWeSyqRx6

PS. *We will also be doing giveaways for the families that are registered! 👀😬👏🏻

We want to give a big shout out to Cleveland High School's Beta Club for doing a coin drive at their school to raise funds to donate sensory support items for our sensory support baskets! Through their fundraising, they were able to donate a total of 31 sensory support items! 🎉

These baskets make a bigger impact than we could even describe. They help to provide much needed regulation support for kiddos who have experienced trauma, as we help their brains and bodies learn that they can feel safe. ❤

Thank you, Cleveland High School Beta Club for your support; it truly means so much to us! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children in our community. ❤

🎒We are still looking for 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙨 to host a 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 for us during the month of June for our Back-to-School Event! (𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴)

This is such a simple and practical way to make an impact on families in our foster community, and we need your help!

🤝 Every year, we host a Back-to-School Event for the foster community in our surrounding counties. Last year, we served over 220 children! This event is all about empowering kids with confidence and dignity, while equipping caregivers with support during a very stressful season. Hosting a drive is a meaningful way for your church to get involved, lighten the load for families, and care for kids in the system.

Shout out to the following churches who have agreed to host a drive for us this month👇🏻🫶🏻
The Chapel Cleveland
Living Word Church
Avenue Church
Hopewell Church of God
Matthew's Table Church
The Oasis Revival Center

📣Next Steps:

📣 We have a need in our local foster community for a family that just received placement of a sibling set of 3!

•They are looking for two toddler-sized balance bikes (if they have adjustable seat lengths, that's even better)

🤝 Do you have either oner or both these items in good condition that you no longer need and would be willing to donate to help this family?

Hey friends! We want to let everyone know that we will be out of the office for about a week as Kayla and Jess head to Texas for TBRI practitioner training (and then we will take a few days once we return to over the long weekend for Memorial Day to be with our families before getting back to work) — we will respond to emails and other communication as soon as possible once we are back in the office on the 26th!

This month’s Support Group gathering will be on May 18th. We meet from 6-8pm, but we start serving dinner around 5:45- so anyone that wants to can come then.

We partner with First Baptist Cleveland to co-lead this gathering with Kelly and Tara Knouse. The meeting is held at First Baptist Cleveland in room 225, and the childcare is provided by their team as well.
*𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟏𝟑.

This group exists to create a supportive space for people involved in the system - a place to be around others who truly get it. It’s always an amazing time of sharing hearts, struggles, laughs, victories, and hurdles. We hope to see you there!

Please register so we can have a headcount for food and childcare! 👇🏻
