Building Our Families

Thank you to this amazing group of children for their hard work. To our area foster parents-Please stop by to grab a bag if you have children in your home! They are awesome!!

These kids worked hard at VBS to put together 24 goodie bags for Building Our Families! They will go to foster kids when they go into a new foster home. They also made homemade cards to go in each bag to lift the spirits of the recipients and remind them that Jesus loves them.

A huge thank you to First Bank & Trust for their support of our Community Kindness Hunt!

Without their generosity and partnership, we wouldn't be able to reach so many people through the nominations we receive. Their support helps us spread kindness throughout our community and recognize individuals and families who make a difference every day.

Thank you, First Bank & Trust, for helping us inspire others to help one another and making our Community Kindness Hunt possible. Together, we're building a stronger, more caring community.
