Big shoutout to our amazing maintenance guys, Joey and Brendon! 👏

They jumped in early this morning to help a parent change a tire, going above and beyond before the day even got started. We’re so thankful for team members who are always willing to lend a hand and show kindness when it’s needed most.

Thank you, Joey and Brendon, for all you do! 🚗🔧💙

🎨🧩 Help Us Create a Fun & Welcoming Space for Our Teens! 🧩🎨

We’re getting so close to launching our new programs and we want it to feel like a place they can truly relax, be themselves, and have fun. 💛

We’re currently looking for donations of craft supplies and board games to help stock the space! Think things like:
- Paints, sketchbooks, markers, and DIY kits
- Friendship bracelet or jewelry-making supplies
- Puzzles and card games
- Classic or newer board games teens would enjoy

Our goal is to create a space that feels less like a program and more like a home!

If you have any new or gently used items you’d be willing to donate, we would be so grateful!

🛍️ Need ideas? We’ve attached our Walmart wishlist if you’d prefer to purchase directly from there!

📍 Drop-off Location: Administrative Building
2901 Rogers Ave.
🕒 Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Feel free to message us with any questions. Thank you for helping us make this space special for our teens! 💫

Hey friends! 🎨

We’re looking for experienced artists who have experience in painting on concrete block walls. We have several blank spaces that we’d love to bring to life with your creativity! If you or someone you know has experience with murals or wall art, we’d love to connect—reach out or tag them below!🫶🏼

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped bring our building together this far!!

Today marks 8 incredible years of Fostering Change! 🎉

This past year has been one of our most exciting yet, as we’ve expanded by adding two new programs that we plan to open by this summer. We couldn’t be more thrilled for what’s ahead!

We are deeply grateful for our dedicated staff, supportive community partners, and generous donors. Because of you, we’re able to continue providing meaningful care and support to those we serve.

As of today, we’ve impacted 171 clients—and that number continues to grow! Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 💙
