We are just one week away from our 2nd Annual Bros & Bows Event! Though things look a bit different this year, we are excited to be able to gather safely together to bring awareness to foster care, adoption, & kinship care.

PLEASE NOTE: Attendees are required to wear face coverings at all times and maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from people not within their household. Please wash your hands, do not touch your face, and refrain from excessively touching surfaces in the building. We will be sanitizing surfaces throughout the event but with your help, we can ensure that things are as safe as possible so that our families can enjoy a little bit of normalcy this fall!

It’s that time of the year again, already! Please complete the FOCAL Christmas Wish List Form (file download HERE) for all Madison County foster children placed in your home. Return all forms to Jennifer Taylor at DHR before October 30th. You have three options to be get the form back to her: Email, Snail Mail, or in-person.

The earlier she receive the forms the easier it is to ensure that all of our children are properly sponsored for the holidays. Please note, if you are a relative that has a foster child through another state or have already adopted a child, please do not complete this form for the child.

On Saturday, August 22nd MCFAPA was able to give away over 40 brand new bicycles and nearly 15 brand new skateboards to local children in Madison County that is currently in foster care. This was made possible by partnership with Together We Rise & Northrop Grumman’s Huntsville office. We appreciate the continued support from our community for the children and families we serve!

We will not have our regularly scheduled 1st Thursday Zoom meeting this month so we can all prepare for SCHOOL. However, we will have our MCFAPA Crossroads Support Group on the 3rd Thursday (8/20/20 @ 7 PM) to share what may or may not work so well as we navigate Remote Learning together! Bring your tips, tricks, etc! More info, coming soon.
