❤️🤍💙 As we celebrate this holiday weekend, we're reminded that some of life's most meaningful moments are the ones spent with family.

For many of us, holidays are filled with backyard barbecues, fireworks, traditions, laughter, and time with the people we love. But for families separated by the child welfare system, these moments can be especially difficult. That's why every opportunity to visit, connect, and make memories together matters.

At Family Connection Center, we provide a safe, welcoming space where children and parents can spend quality time together while working toward reunification. Whether they're playing a game, sharing a meal, reading a book, or simply enjoying each other's company, these visits help strengthen relationships, build trust, and remind children that they are loved.

Every visit is more than time together—it's a step forward. A chance to preserve family bonds, celebrate progress, and create memories that can carry families through even the hardest seasons.

This holiday, we're especially grateful for the volunteers, donors, and community partners who make these moments possible. Because of your support, families have a place where connection, hope, and healing can continue to grow.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend, and hoping every family has the opportunity to create meaningful memories with the ones they love. ❤️💙

Because dignity shouldn't be a luxury. 🍎 Our mission is to provide more than just food; we provide the power of choice. In our Customer Choice Food Pantry, neighbors shop the aisles for fresh produce, pantry staples, and household essentials that fit their family's preferences.

Next Friday from 1-3!

We are so grateful to Lisa Hillenburg and Kemery Baldwin for spending their Saturday morning helping clean and care for Family Connection Center. 💛

Because of you, our space remains warm, welcoming, and ready for the families we serve. Your time and willingness to step in and help does not go unnoticed.

Thank you both for loving our families in such a practical and meaningful way. 🧡
