Inspiring Care, Lasting Impact: A Celebration of Service
We are overjoyed to share a heartwarming highlight from this spring! ASCI attended a Foster Parent Appreciation Luncheon held on May 15, 2025. It was a truly special day, filled with gratitude, laughter, and love as we gathered to honor the incredible kinship and respite parents who give so much of themselves daily.
Hosted with care and appreciation, this beautiful luncheon brought together compassionate caregivers, community supporters, and dedicated professionals from around the region. It was a time to connect, celebrate, and reflect on the amazing impact foster parents have in the lives of children.
This year, the ASCI Respite Department had the special honor of celebrating two long-term respite parents. With hearts full of love and unwavering commitment, these two incredible parents have been steadfast in their care and support for the youth in our community. Both honorees received well-deserved awards for their years of service, and we are deeply thankful for the role they play in shaping brighter futures.
ASCI’s attendees, Misty, Candeese, Joe, Torress, Savannah, Yolanda, and Jaquet, shared a delicious meal, enjoyed vibrant youth performances, and connected with other community members for future collaborations and recruitment opportunities. It was more than just a luncheon, it was a celebration of community and kindness.
We would also like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the Office of Children, Youth and Families, our dedicated funders, whose continued support makes meaningful events like this possible.
To all our amazing kinship parents, respite caregivers, partners, and supporters:
Thank you for being the heart of A Second Chance Inc. Your compassion, dedication, and strength inspire us every day. We are so grateful to be on this journey with you.
