Today, we are celebrating a pretty special milestone — Maria's 10 year work anniversary!

Maria is the definition of a hard, dedicated, worker. Working alongside individuals and families is incredibly rewarding, but it isn't always easy. It takes patience, compassion, flexibility, and a willingness to show up even on the hard days. And that's exactly what Maria continues to do!

We are so thankful for the time, energy, and support she give to not only the families on her caseload but every individual who walks through our doors.

Maria, thank you for continuing to show up, cheer others on, and make a difference. Ten years in, your passion for this work still shines. We are so lucky to have you on our team!

Have you heard of Sleep in Heavenly Peace? ❤️
We know one precious family who has been so incredibly blessed by their mission: “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.”

We are beyond thankful to welcome Sleep in Heavenly Peace as a new community partner in Marshall County! Their kindness, generosity, and commitment to making sure every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep is truly inspiring.

We’re excited to share a few photos from a recent bed delivery to a CAPS family—and that sweet little boy snuggled up in his very own bed.

Moments like this remind us what can happen when a community comes together to care for its children. Thank you, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, for helping make dreams a little sweeter and bedtime a whole lot more special.

No kid sleeps on the floor in our town. What a beautiful mission to be part of!
