We had the best time at our “Goodbye School, Hello Pool” party!

We spent a few sweet hours celebrating the finish line of another school year with our amazing local caregivers and children. From giggles and cannonballs to snacks, splashes, and a little chance for the grown-ups to relax too… it was such a fun way to kick off summer together!

Moments like these remind us just how important community is. 💙 Summer of Smiles is officially underway, and we can’t wait for all the memories still to come!

As we enter the final week of National Foster Care Month, we want to take a moment to thank our incredible foster parents, staff, and community partners for the love, care, and support they provide to our amazing foster youth each and every day. 💙

We also want to encourage anyone who feels that pull in their heart to foster to reach out. You do not have to be perfect; you simply need to be willing to open your heart and home to a child in need.

Our goal is to have homes waiting for children, not children waiting for homes.

To learn more about becoming a foster parent, visit https://kidscentralinc.org/foster-adoption/ or call 352-873-6332.
