Creative Solutions for Kids & Families Foster Family Agency

This week, a group of our foster kiddos had the chance to visit March Field Air Museum, their eyes widened at the sight of the massive aircraft on display. Guided through the exhibits, they marveled at fighter jets, climbed into vintage cockpits, and even engaged with flight simulators. Their curiosity sparking countless questions about space and aviation! 🎉🎊🪐⚡️🌘✈️🚀

We would like to express our gratitude to Foster Love and Raising Cane's for generously donating bicycles for our foster children. Our kiddos are overwhelmed with excitement to own their custom Raising Cane’s bicycles for their upcoming summer/fall adventures.

Foster Love and Raising Cane's thank you for making a positive impact in the community with your gift in helping our foster kiddos have a fun way of developing motor skills that will benefit both their physical and mental well-being! 🤩🥰🌺🚴‍♀️🚴

As part of our continued commitment to providing our kiddos with immersive experiences regarding the cultural and historical background of California, we have explored Riverside rich and vibrant history including its prominent Hispanic heritage. Our kiddos explored the beauty and distinctive Hispanic architecture and walked along its many colorful gardens of the centuries old building. 🌱💕🌳😍

🌱On this thankful Thursday, we are deeply grateful to the Enterprise Mobility Foundation for generously supporting our “Planting Seeds for Healing” event 🪴. This opportunity allowed our children and families to delve into the therapeutic benefits of planting and nurturing their own plants. Our kiddos and families were able to explore therapeutic aspects of integrating planting seeds and the experience of growing plants and how it can promote healing and enhance mental health. Our kiddos and families enjoyed decorating their own biodegradable pots and choosing their own seeds to plant, fostering a deep sense of accomplishment and purpose. We are eagerly looking forward to witnessing not only the growth of their plants but also the personal growth of our kiddos as they continue their journey. 🌱🍃🪴🍀🌴🌳

Our first post-pandemic Team Building event was a truly meaningful experience. It allowed for our CEO to articulate our rebranding and what it means to everyone who is part of our mission driven organization. Our goal? To experience and discover who we are as an organization. CSKF welcomed new faces, and embraced old friends --this day was nothing short of exciting, and we can't wait for our next event! 🥰

Every year we recognize our foster youth for graduating high school and thank the support of their resource parents and social workers by giving them a Certificate of Recognition from the California State Assembly in partnership with the office of Assemblyman Bill Essayli. CSKF also give a $100.00 gift cards for four graduates.

We share this moment to celebrate their graduation and encourage them to pursue their dreams. Angelina to become mortician and Robert for Computer Degree on Programing and Gaming.

Truly proud of their milestones and hope their journey serves as inspiration.

CSKF would like to thank Hope In A Suitcase for your generous support of foster children in the Inland Empire. As you know, most of the children we serve have endured abuse and neglect in their troubled pasts and your support has delivered smiles and happiness to our kids.

We thank Foster Love for donating bags and assorted items for our kids. ♥️

In retrospect, our Resource Families are always cause for celebration, and 2022 was no exception. Each family was cordially invited to Benedict’s Castle, “the jewel of the Inland Empire” for a Christmas dinner event of their own. The grounds were beautifully decorated for the season, and recognitions were presented to each resource family as a special ‘thank you’ for their respective years of service to our community.
