In honor of Foster Family Appreciation Month, we invited foster families to join us for a special evening at The Drip Coffee Co. in Panama City.

It was wonderful to connect with families, and watch the children laugh and play. Foster families truly are the village for so many children in our community, opening their hearts and homes when it matters most. We are deeply grateful for their continued commitment.

A special thank you to the incredible community partners who helped make this evening so meaningful:

💙 Food: Palo Alto Church of Christ
💙 Stuffies: Hiland Park Baptist Women’s Group
💙 Pajamas: Northstar Church & Forest Park Methodist Church
💙 Summer Buckets: St. Dominic’s Catholic Church
💙 Coffee Tickets: Grace Covenant Church

We were also grateful to have valuable resources available for families from:
• LMC Specialized Therapeutic Foster Care
• Florida Department of Health Medical Foster Care
• The Florida Center for Early Childhood / FAPA

It takes a community to support children and families, and we are thankful for everyone who helped make this evening special.
