This funding helps provide critical services for children and families, including foster care support, mental health resources, healthcare access, and safe shelter. We're proud to support efforts that strengthen the wellbeing of children across our community!

We hope you'll show up to the polls and support Issue 10 this upcoming election season!

Good things truly come to those who wait. After spending 1,585 days in foster care, a special little boy is officially and forever a member of the Gibson family!

Congratulations to this incredible family as they begin this new chapter together, and especially to Rhett Jr., who will never have to see day 1,586. Today, forever starts. 💙

🏳️‍🌈Proud to Be Part of Pikeville Pride!🏳️‍🌈

Today, we had the opportunity to attend Pikeville Pride and celebrate love, acceptance, community, and the importance of making sure everyone feels like they belong.

At NECCO, we believe every child deserves a safe, supportive, and loving place to call home, a place where they can be themselves, feel heard, and know they matter.

Foster parents are needed in our community!

You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to open your heart and your home to a child who needs someone in their corner.

If you've ever thought about becoming a foster parent, now is the time to take that first step. You could be the person who makes a lifelong difference in a child's life.

🏠 Open your home.
❤️ Open your heart.
🌟 Be the safe place a child needs.

Contact NECCO at 606-910-4308 or at www.necco.org to learn more about becoming a foster parent.

Together, we can build a community where every child knows they belong.
