Georgia Kids Belong

Will you join us? Acworth Cares is for you. The foster parent. The person considering foster care. The business, faith, and community leader. The person who wants to care well for foster parents. We’ll celebrate & treat foster parents, hear from Mayor Allegood, have an opportunity to meet lots of private foster agencies and DFCS, and enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres from Foster Friendly Businesses! We were off about the time-it starts at 6, but the invitation remains the same! Hope you’ll join us! Please RSVP https://lnkd.in/eTuVfhmP

11,000+ kids in Georgia's foster system. Our community. Our kids. Our need. Our opportunity to respond.

We're celebrating some truly impactful numbers from September! Our goal is DEEP, lasting, transformative impact for kids and families in GA's foster system. Thank you to all those who partner with us to make this work possible.

It's time for us to fight. We just added 22 youth to our I Belong Project and it's time to fight for belonging! Paige is waiting in Georgia's foster system for adoption. You can get to know her and hear HER voice through her video here: https://lnkd.in/dQdbz2cy

📍 The Foster Friendly movement is rolling through Georgia! 📍 Why? Because people care about kids and families in foster care and want to help. If you're connected to a business or faith community that could help add more pins by becoming Foster Friendly, please reach out! Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gRSh2QCp

We are crazy excited and grateful to announce Georgia's 1st three Foster Friendly Chick-fil-A Restaurants!

Thank you to Chick-fil-A Lavonia, LakePoint, and Cherokee Place in Cartersville for saying yes to serving foster families in this partial and encouraging way! If you'd like to use YOUR business to serve foster families, we'd love to make that happen! We have 600+ Foster Friendly listings across GA. Let's add YOU! https://lnkd.in/gpjHinRR
