✨ Yesterday’s Driven by Purpose event was unforgettable! Thanks to our incredible sponsors, hosts, and guests, we celebrated 15 years of serving Central Florida’s foster youth. Today, there are 2,352 children in foster care, and FFC is proud to stand in the gap, providing relationships, resources, and experiences that remind every child they are seen, valued, and supported.

Together, we have changed the story for thousands. Together, we are building futures. And together, we are — and will always be — driven by purpose. 💛 #FFCCares #DrivenByPurpose ...

✨ Today is the day! ✨ We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to our Driven by Purpose event as we conclude our 15-year celebration.

This journey would not be possible without the generosity and commitment of our incredible sponsors, partners, and supporters. Together, you’ve helped create brighter futures for youth in foster care. We can`t wait to see what the next 15 years hold!

Today is #InternationalDayofCharity, a day that raises awareness, mobilizes people worldwide, and encourages acts of kindness that support those who need it most. We had the chance to drop off requested items to the Circuit 9 Department of Children & Families `Safe Space` location, the first stop for children entering foster care as they wait for placement. Many arrive without time to pack a bag or bring along essentials.

Safe Spaces change that. Stocked with clothing, hygiene items, and comforting toys, these rooms give kids a chance to clean up, change, and feel welcomed while waiting for their next placement. It’s a foundation of security from the very start.
