Today, some of our team had the honor of attending and supporting the “A Run to Remember” 5K in remembrance of the victims of the May 2025 Laurel County tornado.

Three of our amazing staff members participated in the run, proudly representing our agency and showing support for the individuals, families, and community members impacted by this tragedy.

Our team also hosted a booth during the event, where we were able to hand out bags and goodies, connect with community members, and share meaningful conversations throughout the evening. We are incredibly grateful for opportunities like this to stand alongside our community in both remembrance and healing.

Thank you to everyone who organized, participated in, and supported this special event. 🩵

We were so excited to have some of the guys from the Knox County, Ky Sheriff's Department visit us at the Corbin office today to give staff some tips on de-escalating difficult situations. They did an awesome job, and answered all of the questions staff had. It was a very beneficial training for our office and we hope they’ll come back out soon. 💙

In April alone, we’ve received referrals for 281 children in Kentucky who need a safe place to call home.

We were able to say yes to 34 of those children, and that matters.

But that also means 247 children didn’t have a home available when they needed one. 🥀

The reason is simple:
We need more foster homes.

We need people willing to step in and make a difference for youth with therapeutic needs. These are kids who need patience, stability, and someone who won’t give up on them. 🌷

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is your moment.

Let’s work together to make sure every child in Kentucky has a safe, stable place to land. 🌺

🌟 Employee Spotlight Winner 🌟

We are so excited to recognize Emily as our Employee Spotlight winner! 🎉

This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from her peers; those who see her dedication, compassion, and work ethic in action every single day.

Emily consistently goes above and beyond in her role. She steps in without hesitation, even during the most stressful moments, and is always willing to support both her team and the youth we serve. Her reliability and strong sense of teamwork create a positive, supportive environment for everyone around her.

Her coworkers shared how dependable she is, noting that she is someone they can always count on. She not only ensures her responsibilities are handled with care, like making sure youth attend therapy and following up, but she also finds ways to support others, often stepping up during on-call situations when it matters most.

What makes Emily’s commitment even more inspiring is that she balances all of this while working a second job, yet still gives her full energy and heart to our team. Her compassion, work ethic, and willingness to go the extra mile do not go unnoticed.

Emily truly makes a difference; for the kids, for the team, and for the culture we strive to build every day. 💜

Congratulations, Emily! We are so grateful to have you on our team. 🌸✨

In March, more than 400 children were referred into foster care; many experiencing this for the first time in their lives. We were able to say “yes” to some… but not nearly enough.

Too many are still waiting for a safe place to land.

We need you.
Now more than ever, children need foster parents willing to step up and make a difference.

🌷🐣 In a small community, every act of care matters a little more. 🐣🌷

Easter is a season that reminds us of something simple, but powerful. It reminds us that even after the hardest moments, new beginnings are still possible.

At Benchmark Family Services, we see that every day.
In the child who begins to feel safe again.
In the foster parent who chooses patience, even on the hardest days.
In the quiet progress that doesn’t always get seen, but means everything.

In a town like ours, it’s the people who make the difference.
The ones who show up.
The ones who care.
The ones who choose compassion, even when it’s not easy.

This season, we’re reminded that hope doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
Sometimes, it looks like a steady presence… a safe place… a second chance.
And in communities like ours, those small acts of love can change a life forever.

Give us a call today at 606-526-6992 if you feel called to begin this journey.
