SUMMARY:Family Collective
DESCRIPTION:“Lions and tigers and bears\, oh my!” Many of us may recall this phrase from Wizard of Oz – Scarecrow as they consider all the dangers they could encounter in the forest on the way to the Emerald City. That phrase has been around since 1900 when the author penned The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. \nRaising kids in this digital age can often be overwhelming. Within the landscape of today’s culture – the “lions\, tigers\, and bears” can refer to the unknown dangers awaiting us on the other side of our digital screens. Smith County Investigation\, Tim McDonald\, will be sharing ways to keep our kids safe with the adults at Family Collective September 8th. Meanwhile\, kids from pre-k to high school will learn strategies to protect themselves in a fun\, playful environment. \nOur Family Collective is our monthly support group for foster\, adoptive and kinship families.  Each month\, we gather together for pizza\, salad\, and then break off into sessions pending age/grade.  Each session is led by local therapists who are trauma informed and want to support our families. \nDinner will be served from 5:30-6:00pm. Sessions will run from 6:00 – 7pm. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:A Seat at the Table Banquet
DESCRIPTION:We believe that everyone has a seat at the table. In East Texas over 1\,300 children are in foster care\, walking through one of the hardest seasons of their lives. The Fostering Collective exists to recruit and shepherd Christ-centered families in East Texas to help children in foster care. \nJoin us as we raise the necessary funds to provide tangible resources\, advocacy efforts\, and trauma support along with community that’s needed to help children in foster care to become all that God made them to be. During this evening\, we will also recognize Founding Board President\, Rocky Gill\, as well as a special foster family. Come learn more about how you can partner and give hope to children in foster care\, so they always have A Seat at the Table. \nIf you have questions regarding sponsorship opportunities\, please contact: Justin Hayes\, Executive Director of The Fostering Collective by email at justin@thefosteringcollective.org or by calling 903-372-4547. \nWe look forward to partnering with you and bringing hope to children in foster care together\, so every child has A Seat at the Table.
