Hello friends,

Spring is here, and with it comes fresh momentum, meaningful connection, and the kind of community impact that only happens when people show up for one another. We have so much to celebrate—and a few ways you can step in and make a difference right now.

🌿 Monthly Rhythms to Stay Connected

We want to keep these on your radar:

TBRI Workshop – 3rd Saturday of every month Practical, trauma-informed tools for caregivers, volunteers, and anyone walking alongside vulnerable families.
Foster Closet – 2nd Saturday of every month A tangible way we meet real needs with clothing, essentials, and dignity.

👉 Right now, we especially need help with the Foster Closet and administrative volunteers behind the scenes. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved… this is it.

💛 Sponsor Spotlight

This month, we’re honored to highlight Stewart Knowles Construction, you can vist them here: https://stewartknowles.com/ Their generous support helps us continue showing up for this community in real, practical ways—from resources to relationships to relief for families who need it most.

When local businesses invest in this work, they’re not just writing checks—they’re helping rebuild stability, hope, and connection for generations to come. We’re deeply grateful. You can learn more here: https://www.foster180.com/foster180-partner-program

🎉 GrandFam Event Recap

Our recent GrandFam event was something special.

Over 128 people were served lunch
Kids laughed, played, and just got to be kids
Grandparents received invaluable training, resources, and support

This is what it looks like when the village shows up.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible vendors who made the day possible:

Wilson County Health Department
Lebanon Police Department
DrugFree WilCo
AgeWell Middle Tennessee
Wilson Rides Inc
MCCAA
SMILE ON 65+ Powered by Interfaith Dental
Lantern Lane Farm Counseling
The Town Doctor
TN Voices
GIBBS Pharmacy

Each of these organizations brought something meaningful to the table—knowledge, care, access, and support.

🌱 Where We’re Headed

Every event, every volunteer, every partnership is building something bigger than a single moment. We’re not just meeting needs—we’re strengthening families and preventing crises before they begin. But here’s the truth: This only works if the village keeps showing up.

So whether you give your time, your resources, or your voice—we need you.

With gratitude and hope,

Foster180

It takes a village. Let’s keep being one.
