Family & Children Services is committed to supporting our most under resourced and marginalized communities in everything we do. One way we do that is by attending community events and festivals. It's a way to raise awareness about our services, recruit job seekers and foster parents, and invite folks to become donors. It's also a really great way to learn more about community needs and potential partners!

Each year we commit to having a booth at Kalamazoo Pride and walk in the Doo Da Parade, because we want the LGBTQ+ community to know that they are valued, safe, and supported by the Agency. We serve many clients of the LGBTQ+ community, value our same sex foster parents, and have welcomed many staff from the community as well. Joining them in their joy and celebration is just one way we can help them feel safe and supported in the community at large!

Today we celebrate not just the day that enslaved Texans learned of their freedom in 1865, but also the enduring resilience and strength of the Black community. It’s a day to acknowledge the progress that has been made towards true freedom and equity and the long road ahead to true equity and prosperity.

At Family & Children Services, we are committed to being a part of that march towards progress.

Last week we were able to host a blood drive at our Kalamazoo location. 26 people participated, with 80% of those being our staff!

We continue to be proud of the myriad of ways our staff are sources of hope for their community, those they’ve met and those they’ll never meet.

Congratulations to Jamila Washington, Family Preservation Supervisor at Family & Children Services, for being named the Big Sister of the month for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Not only does Jamila pour into the clients and staff at our Agency, but she also uses her free time to mentor and counsel Littles as well. Our community is so lucky to have people like Jamila in it.
