One caring adult can change everything ❤️

Through the Foster Grandparent Program, AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers provide encouragement, patience, and support to children in local schools.

They become a steady, trusted presence—helping with academics, building confidence, and offering the kind of care that shapes a child’s future.

And here’s the beautiful part:
✨ Volunteers say they benefit, too—with improved health, purpose, and connection.

You can help continue this powerful impact by choosing to donate early for Give Hastings Day.
