🎉 The Final Week of 10K for Good 🎉

For the final week of our summer initiative, randomly selected employee Kaelan Lemen chose to award a $1,000 donation to Fostering the Village, a non-profit ministry of Children's Rescue Center, Inc. Pictured is Kaelan presenting a $1,000 check to Fostering the Village Director, Andrea Shroyer.

Fostering the Village, located in Springfield, Ohio, partners with families who are caring for children affected by foster and kinship care. By offering encouragement, support, and vital resources, the organization helps ease the challenges these families face and empowers more people to welcome children from difficult circumstances into their homes. 🏠💙

These funds will help purchase essential items that cannot be accepted as gently used donations, including diapers, wipes, pull-ups, laundry detergent, socks, and underwear. For safety reasons, Fostering the Village also provides only new cribs and new car seats to the families they serve. This donation will help provide critical resources for dozens of local families who rely on the organization’s support.

When asked why he chose this organization, Kaelan said, "I chose Fostering the Village because after my wife and I went through the foster care licensing process, I realized how challenging it is to be prepared for children of all ages and their unique needs. Fostering The Village helps bridge that gap by providing essential resources and support, making it easier for foster families to welcome children into a safe, loving home on short notice. Their mission removes barriers for foster parents and allows them to focus on what matters most, caring for children in need."

Join us in congratulating Fostering the Village! 🎊

Do you know a foster or kinship parent who could use Similac 360 Total Care formula or Enfamil Gentlease formula?
Please have them get in contact with us! 🍼

In the past week, we have been able to serve two Grandmothers who are each raising their infant and toddler aged grandchildren. Both of them were able to leave Fostering the Village with bags of clothes, a package of diapers and a package of wipes for each child. 💚💙🧡

We got a chance to clean our shelves and organize all the diapers that have been donated!

Today we got to serve a sweet Grandma who is raising her granddaughter. What a blessing to be able to help her with clothes, diapers, wipes and a pack n play!

We have some sizes of diapers that are getting a little sparse. We would be glad to take donations of diapers sizes 2 and up or pull ups!

One easy way to give is through our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/199LG3FAG0DRS?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ggr-subnav-share_QPD2Q2D9S0K286A6BKKX&language=en-US
