Fall is a season of change.
The weather gets cooler.
Trees shed their old leaves.
Families settle into new routines for the school year.

But for many children in our community, this season brings a different kind of change. They are waiting for a safe, warm, and loving place to call home.

Just like a cozy sweater on a chilly day, a foster parent provides comfort, warmth, and security when life feels a bit stormy.

This autumn, open your heart and your home. You can be the steady ground a child needs during a time of transition.

❤️ 25 Years of Kim. 25 Years of Making a Difference. ❤️

Today, we celebrate so much more than a work anniversary. We celebrate 25 years of dedication, compassion, leadership, and heart.

Kim has poured so much of herself into the work she does and into the people around her. As one of our Directors, her leadership reaches far beyond a title. She has been a mentor, a steady presence, a source of encouragement, and someone who genuinely cares about the people and families we serve.

Twenty-five years is an incredible milestone, but what makes it truly special is the impact left behind along the way. The people supported, the lives touched, the challenges navigated, the countless moments of showing up when it mattered; all of it is part of Kim’s legacy.

We are incredibly grateful for everything you have given to Reachingout over the past 25 years. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed, and we are so fortunate to have had the privilege of working alongside you.

Congratulations on 25 years, Kim. 🥂❤️

Here’s to celebrating the incredible difference you’ve made and to all the lives you’ll continue to touch for years to come!
