?New blog post: Helping Foster Families During the Holidays?? With Christmas approaching and the present theme of love, hope, and giving, it is important to keep in mind the struggling foster families that may need help during the holidays. Many may not have the ability to provide gifts for their loved ones, or have family to give gifts to at all. Others may be struggling emotionally or mentally with stress that comes with the holidays. In showing foster families love and hope through generosity and support, we can offer help to those in need. ????

A pitch to pitch in this #NationalFosterCareMonth! Children that happen to have contact with the foster care system are a) #children and b) children equally deserving of care and support in a #family unit. Some need temporary support, others need more, but each of them in their own way contribute to the champions that partner with them. And there is something everyone can do to pitch in to the solution. In the abundance of our existence, it is a travesty that the brilliance of some children is dimmed through no fault of their own. Worst, the internalization of this neglect sometimes leads to cerebral and mental health degeneration that compounds over time. Ways to help one or more foster care children - 1. There are about 3.5 million households in LA County. About 30,000 children, plus or minus, in foster care, a fraction of them in search of adoption. Of the 3.5 million households, if you are a household that can provide a loving environment, consider learning more about adoption with an organization like Hillsides. 2. Adopting isn't the only way to help. Consider learning more about being a resource family for a foster care child that needs a temporary accommodation. 3. You can help in other ways, too. You can be part of all those success stories you see and hear about in the news! Can your work team or school sponsor a drive to gather new toiletries or coats or duffel bags that will go to an organization supporting foster care youth? Can your family or friend group commit to gathering $100 worth of pre-teen or teen related fun items (like board games, journals, gift cards) to offer a sense of normalcy during the holidays? Can you donate your hard-earned money to an organization like Hillsides toward the eventual success story of one of these children? Giving is one of the most fulfilling acts. However it is you have thought about pitching in, if you haven't or haven't in a while - I encourage you to get involved today! Learn more at hillsides.org/get-involved

No child is an island. Beyond shelter and sustenance, every child needs the steady hands of family and the extended embrace of community support to grow and thrive. Family is often a child’s first experience of love, guidance, and security. It's where values are taught, dreams are nurtured, and confidence takes root. A supportive family doesn’t have to be perfect, but its presence creates a foundation that helps children face life's challenges with resilience. Community plays an equally vital role. The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" reflects the truth that a child’s development is a collective responsibility. Whether it’s schools, places of worship, neighbors, or mentorship programs, communities provide a safety net and opportunities for learning and growth outside the home. Support can come in many forms: listening, mentoring, volunteering, or simply showing kindness. Every effort matters. Together, we can create environments where children feel seen, heard, and supported. Every child deserves the chance to flourish. Let’s be the family and community that every child needs. #geancocommunitycenter #childdevelopment
