Thank you Faith Baptist Bartlett for hosting our September meeting today (and feeding our crew)! It’s a blessing to be with like-minded partners as we rally together to meet foster care and adoption needs in Memphis and Shelby County!

We had our last MIFAM meeting of the year today and took some time to share foster care and adoption related things we’re thankful for. Thanks to Church of Christ at White Station for hosting us and to Isaiah 117 House Shelby Co TN for feeding us a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! We also had the opportunity to take a field trip to see our local Isaiah 117 House that will be open soon. MIFAM, we’ll see you in 2025!

Today we celebrated MIFAM’s 3rd birthday! For three years we’ve been meeting together, learning from one another, collaborating on foster, kinship & adoption support and cheering on child welfare workers. We are committed to working together because we believe we can have greater positive impact in this city we love if we lock arms!
We asked All for the One attendees what they found most valuable about the day, and these are some of their responses. We’re glad to hear that our time together was helpful and encouraging - just what we hoped it would be!
Here’s one attendee’s review of her experience at All for the One 🎉
Yesterday was a great day, and we’re so grateful to each person who attended, participated in the exhibit booth area, led a training session, donated items, and volunteered to make it a great event! There was a TON of collaboration and teamwork, and we truly believe we’re BETTER TOGETHER! Were you there? Which part was your favorite?
Why are we hosting All for the One?
For them. All 1,168 of them.
That’s how many kids are in DCS custody in Shelby County.
Come join us TOMORROW morning & learn how you can help or be encouraged in your current foster care, kinship care or adoption journey.

When we started planning All for the One, we knew we wanted to provide childcare. We wanted to make it easy for foster parents to attend and not put the burden on them to find respite care for the kiddos in their home. We’re grateful for our childcare coordinators, Kaitlyn & Bailey, for doing an outstanding job recruiting volunteers, figuring out how to group the kids, planning super fun activities and so much more!
Also, thanks to our childcare volunteers for going above and beyond to attend a training by Safe & Secure TN earlier this week so they have tools and resources they need to provide the best care!
