June is your month, DADS!

While we honor fathers and father figures, it's also a great time to build new skills, gain support, and add practical tools to your DAD toolbelt. ๐Ÿ”จ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ”ฆ

Strong dads help build strong families. Let's uplift fatherhoodโ€”together.

AND, this month we're offering our first lunch-time workshop. ๐Ÿ•›

These duffel bags will make a meaningful difference, giving kids a way to carry their belongings as they move to the next step in their journey.
Thank you, Victoria, and to everyone who contributed. Your generosity is providing not just bags, but confidence, dignity, and love to children in our community. ๐Ÿ’›

Today our Youth & Family Services family said goodbye to one of our own.
We are heartbroken to have lost ๐—”๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป, yet deeply grateful to have had him on our team. Through our YFS Dads program, Aaron lovingly impacted the lives of the fathers he served. He fully believed in being the best dad he could be to his own precious daughterโ€”and he poured that same dedication into coaching other men.
Aaron never pretended parenting was easy, but he stood firm in the belief that if he and his coaching partner, James, could positively change even one fatherโ€™s journey, it was worth every bit of the work. And it was.
Aaron became a true friend and brother to us at YFS. We will never forget his genuine love for people, his quick, singular โ€œHA!โ€ laugh, his encyclopedic knowledge of silly movies and heavy metal bands, or his deep respect for breakfast cereal.
He could be a quiet observer or right in the middle of lunchtime conversations. He had a sharp eye and a caring spiritโ€”often sensing when one of us needed a hand (or a hair tieโ€”๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ).
Aaron was a team player in every sense of the word, and we are better for having known him. The YFS family will carry his impact with us always.

Foster care isnโ€™t just a systemโ€”itโ€™s something we can all be part of.
Whether you share a post, start a conversation, attend an event, or take a step toward getting involved, youโ€™re helping ensure children in foster care are seen, supported, and valued.
๐Ÿ’™ Awareness is where it begins.
๐Ÿ’™ Action is what changes lives.
