Every child deserves safety, stability, and hope.

Members of the Open Arms Foundation and professionals from across Jasper County were honored to be invited to Las Vegas, Nevada to participate in a national training initiative with the National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children focused on helping professionals better recognize and respond to the needs of vulnerable children and families.

Important conversations about protecting children, breaking cycles of trauma and supporting professionals. Grateful for the opportunity to highlight the power of collaboration, compassion, and early intervention happening here in Jasper County.

May is Foster Care Appreciation Month, and at Open Arms Foundation of Jasper County, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible foster families in our community.

These families open their homes and hearts to children during some of the most difficult times in their lives. Their impact is real, lasting, and deeply important to the strength of Jasper County.

To show our appreciation, Open Arms is delivering May Day bags to every foster family in Jasper County this week. It’s a small gesture, but one that comes with a big message: you are seen, you are valued, and you are not doing this work alone.

Through our F3 Program (Fortifying Foster Families) we remain committed to supporting foster families with resources, connection, and community every step of the way. Each bag is filled with goodies, small toys, a Casey's gift card, and a The Kraken's Crate gift card...and more!

We’re grateful for each and every one of you.
