Recently, our young friends Margriet and Mary held a lemonade and bake sale to benefit Family & Children Services. These young ladies heard about our Agency from Mary’s mom, Kelli, and were moved to help the children in our community.

We know how easily inundated you are with the heaviness of the community, country, and world so today we wanted to remind you that there are helpers, both big and small, all around us. Creating little ripples of hope whether we see them or not.

Thank you so much Margriet and Mary for thinking of our clients! (And thank you to their parents for creating family cultures of kindness and generosity!)

focuses on Foster Care Parent recruitment and the 10,000 children across Michigan currently in Foster Care. But did you know we need advocates for Foster Care all year?

If you aren’t currently able to be a Foster Parent but care about the children in our community, consider sharing this post or this page to your social media pages. You never know if someone you know is considering becoming a Foster Parent!

Dr. Kelli Collins, Board Member for Family & Children Services, recently hosted a beautiful spring brunch benefiting our Summer Enrichment Program!

We so appreciate Dr. Collins for gathering a generous group of neighbors, friends, and colleagues to hear about what our summer enrichment program does for our clients. Special thanks to her four children who helped cook and tag the food and created beautiful postcards to send to children enrolled in summer enrichment!

Our Summer Enrichment Program creates a safe, supportive space where children can explore new interests, build friendships, and grow in confidence. Whether attending outdoor camp, engaging in music or art therapy, or receiving academic support to stay on track, each experience is designed to nurture the child and their unique personalities. Because of generous donors like Dr. Collins and those who attended her spring brunch, over 800 children have access to these life giving programs.

There are approximately 10,000 children in foster care in Michigan alone. The need is even greater for families who can support teenagers, sibling groups, and children with developmental needs.

This we encourage you to learn more about being a foster care or respite parent! Email us at [email protected] or submit an inquiry form with your questions: https://fcsource.org/inquiry-form/

Young people thrive when support comes early. Encouraging open conversations about mental health can help children and teens feel supported in reaching out.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to have honest and vulnerable conversations with the young people in your lives as often as possible because early support matters!

If you feel like you or your child could use more support, call or email our Counseling Center to schedule an appointment. 269.344.0202 or email [email protected].
