Today, we are grateful for companies like Better Made Snack Foods who donated chips to our pantry for children to enjoy when they come to our center. Providing them with treats that they enjoy is just one of the ways that we try to make our kids feel more comfortable at the big blue house. If you know of or work for a business who is interested in donating snacks to our kids, please reach out to [email protected].

We are #thankful for thoughtful purchasing today, that gives back in a big way. Everyone shops, especially during the holiday season!
If you would like the shopping you already do to benefit our community's kids, simply log in to your Kroger, Amazon, and Rite Aid accounts and select Voices for Children or Robert E Weiss Advocacy Center for Children and Youth as the non-profit you would like to support. What an easy way to give this holiday season and all year long! Thank you for doing both the simple and the hard work to protect our kids alongside us.

Today's #ThankfulNovember post goes out to our canine advocate Deputy Daphne! Daphne was brought to Voices for Children to accompany children in Forensic Interviews, support groups, court proceedings, medical exams and other events throughout the community.

We are thankful for our Court Appointed Special Advocates who give children in foster care a voice in the court room.
CASA volunteers listen first. Then they act. They are advocates for children (newborn to 18 years of age) who are in the juvenile court system due to allegations of abuse and neglect. These are the most vulnerable children in our city. The CASA volunteer gets to know the child by talking with everyone in that child’s life: parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs and what will be the best permanent home for them. Independent research has demonstrated that children with a CASA volunteer are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care and less likely to reenter care

If you are interested in becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate, reach out to [email protected].

Today's #thankfulnovember shoutout goes to Cause & Affect Gallery who've chosen Voices for Children to be the recipients of a portion of their sales this quarter. Their donation will be used to support our Art Therapy program.

"Cause & Affect Gallery began as a need to find space to accommodate a friend who is differently abled in order to take a class in silversmithing. After searching for awhile, the current location was found. The gallery is accessible to all and our classroom space is adaptable for people of differing needs. Inclusion of all is very important to us. The gallery name speaks to what we do. We take various causes and want to make an affect in the greater community. This is done by donating a portion of all of our sales to non-profits."

Visit and 'LIKE' their page to learn more about ways that you can get involved in their classes, visit their gallery, and support their mission to make a positive impact on the Genesee County community.

Thank you, Cause & Affect Gallery for supporting our children!
