Boots on the ground, blessing all those impacted by foster care. Advocate: Madison Flack

While you’re shopping on Prime Days this week will you think of our foster care community?

We are low on several baby items, activity items, and bedding. If you want to click add to cart and have it sent straight to us that would be amazing!

Boots and Blessings is a community ministry and you are the reason that we get to keep saying “yes!”.

There are so many behind the scenes people to thank for how incredible Known Retreat 2026 was. These two ladies worked before the sun rose to after the sun set to make sure every mom in attendance was fed well. It was a beautiful blessing to not get up from the table 29482904 times to grab something for our kids from the kitchen. They helped us stay regulated with delicious meals and snacks.

Extra special shout out and huge thank you to Henn House BBQ LLC and Circle S Farm Freezer Beef for generously providing the meat for retreat. It takes a village to do foster care, and providing food to weary foster moms is such a precious blessing.

What a privilege to be able to say yes.

A case worker calls and says “I have a teen who graduated high school and is aging out of foster care, is there a way you guys can provide a cake so I can throw him a little get together?”

And because of this community continuing to financially commit to doing foster care alongside of us, we get to say “yes! But can we throw a party?”

More than 30 people showed up. Some family, some case workers, some strangers who just want to love on the next generation. They showed up with gifts and encouragement for this young man.

The Carriage House made the sweet treats, we bought some pizza an decor and gifts, and it was just an incredible experience.

If you’re wondering where your one-time or monthly donations go, they go to things like this. Our ability to say “yes!” to things that weren’t even on our radar but showed Jesus to this young man and his family.

Forever grateful for every time you guys say yes to giving of your finances because that means we get to say yes over and over again.

We are blessed to tears. 🩷 🎀

Within hours of posting the virtual baby shower for a former foster teen, this community cleared the registry.

The gifts continue to pour in and we are so thrilled to be able to show up for this young mom and let her know she’s not alone. These are the type of things that may seem small, but is a huge step in breaking generational cycles of hurt.

Thank you thank you for stepping up and doing foster care with us in this way. 🎉

Shout-out to Dr. Wilson and Great Plains Orthopaedic for sponsoring KNOWN Retreat!

This sponsorship helps us provide scholarships, bring in world-class speakers, and bless foster and adoptive moms with lots of well deserved goodies.

Thank you Dr. Wilson!

A local foster youth has recently aged out of the foster care system and started life on her own with very little support system.

She’s expecting a little boy this fall and we have the incredible opportunity to step in and support her!

Boots and Blessings is hosting a virtual baby shower to step into the gap and help make this step of her life just a little bit easier.

Please come alongside us in this tangible way as we work to help this young mom break generational cycles. Your support is critical.

Click the link for the Amazon Baby Registry. All items will be sent to us and we will collect, wrap, and bring to this young woman. Thank you for stepping into foster care with us. ❤️

It's easy to start your Baby Registry with the Amazon Registry Checklist, plus get a free Welcome Box, 15% discount, free shipping and free 1-year returns.
