⏰ FINAL CALL: Care Drive ends June 5

We’re down to the final stretch—and every single donation still matters.
• Shop in stores
• Order via our Amazon Wishlist
• Browse those clearance racks

The Care Drive is collecting new or like-new duffel bags, backpacks, blankets, and shoes for youth in foster care across Kansas. These items go directly to children who often arrive with nothing to call their own.

If you’ve been meaning to give, this is your moment!

📍 Find a drop-off location or donate before it ends: susanskids.org/care-drive

Let’s finish strong for Kansas foster youth...together!

During National Foster Care Month, we want to recognize and thank foster caregivers 💛

Families come in many forms, and each one plays a role in building a stronger community. When we come together, we create a network of support that helps youth feel seen, supported, and cared for.

🚨 VOLUNTEERS DESPERATELY NEEDED — HAYSVILLE, KS 🚨

Right now, our Haysville location is struggling. We are overwhelmed, stretched thin, and urgently need more people willing to step in and help. 💔 Please complete an application online at the link in the photo.

This isn’t just about one task or one emergency anymore. We need help with *everything*:
🐾 Caring for cats and dogs
🧹 Cleaning and laundry
🥣 Feeding and daily care
🚗 Transport help
📦 Organizing supplies
❤️ Socializing animals
🙌 General day-to-day support

The reality is that rescue cannot survive on donations alone. Without volunteers, the work simply doesn’t get done, and the animals are the ones who suffer for it.

We know everyone is busy. We know life is hectic. But even a few hours a week could make an enormous difference right now.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering with Beauties & Beasts, please consider this your sign. Our Haysville team needs help now more than ever, and we cannot keep carrying this weight with so few people.

📍 7030 S. Broadway - Haysville, Kansas
🐶🐱 No special experience needed, just compassion and willingness to help.

Please share. Please tag someone local. Please consider joining us. The animals are counting on people to show up for them. 🖤

Why does summer lunch taste better than the rest of the year? A sandwich with some nice cold lunch meat, cheddar cheese and lettuce, chips and an ice cold Pepsi...oh wait that's probably not what you will receive at the summer lunch program.
Better check out the details below from our friends at Family Promise of Greater Wichita and please don't tell them we said you could have a Pepsi with lunch haha.

As school ends and summer begins, access to food can become a real challenge for many families in our community. ☀️💛

We’re grateful for programs like the summer food program through Wichita Public Schools, helping ensure kids in our community continue to have access to nutritious meals throughout the summer months.

Families can find meal sites, schedules, and more information here:

Please share and help spread the word so families in our community know this important resource is available. Supports like this can make a big difference for kids and families during the summer season. 💛

Whether your child is already justice involved, or you know of a youth that is heading down the wrong path, the P.O.W.E.R. Program is here to help!
The Providing Opportunities While Ending Recidivism (P.O.W.E.R.) Program is a free, voluntary 12-hour seminar attended by Sedgwick County youth and their parent or other connected adult. Coordinated through the Sedgwick County Department of Corrections, the program’s focus is improving family relations, enhancing youth strengths, building healthy relationships and highlighting valuable services in the community.
