On behalf of everyone at Family Guidance, we extend our deepest gratitude to you for your incredible generosity, unwavering support, and heartfelt prayers. Your commitment to our mission has touched countless lives and continues to make a profound impact on the youth we serve.

We are immensely grateful for your recent donations at the Spring Celebration 2024. Your support and donations helped to raise $80,000. Your contributions not only sustain our programs, but also empower us to expand our reach and deepen our impact in the community.

Additionally, we want to express our sincere appreciation to all those who attended our Spring Celebration. It was an honor to share with you our ministry's vision for the future and to celebrate the remarkable milestone of 60 years of God's faithfulness in guiding Family Guidance.

As we reflect on our rich history and look ahead to the future, we are filled with hope and excitement for what lies ahead. With your continued support, we are confident that we will be able to further our mission and positively influence even more young lives in the years to come.

Once again, thank you for your invaluable support and partnership. Together, we are making a difference that will resonate for generations to come.

With deepest thanks,

Allyson Sveda, Executive Director

🌟 A big shout-out to the incredible students of the Radiate Truth project, as a part of the entrepreneurial program! Their hard work and dedication led to the creation of an outstanding e-commerce site where they offered wearable accessories like these great hats and all proceeds from their sales went to support Family Guidance. We are deeply thankful for their efforts and eagerly anticipate more impactful projects like this in the future. 🌟 GCC Entrepreneurship

This picture says it all! God has truly blessed so many kids and youth through our partners here at Family Guidance! This past Christmas, we had Memorial Park Church give 100 $25 Walmart gift cards so our mentors could shop with their mentees for a special Christmas gift!

We also had Bible Chapel organize an amazing giving tree to help support our event needs such as our Promise Camps. These items includes things like Bibles, towels, t-shirts, sleeping bags, loads of athletic shoes and more!

We are so thankful for our partnership with other churches. If you would like to help bless these kids and young adults and partner with us, reach out to one of our staff members today!

Show your love and care help this year's Promise Camp! The list below provides the specific items we are looking for this summer.

Items can be dropped off at our office and charitable donation letters will go out as part of our follow up.

We hope and pray you can help us help these campers and extend your love and care for them.

Thank you for donating!

Today, we honor those who have lost their lives 22 years ago. May God be with the brave souls and heroes' families who endured the pain and fear of that day. May there be hope for the future knowing that, "even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11." -Former President Barack Obama

Happy Labor Day from Family Guidance!

We would love to recognize our amazing staff, board of directors, and ambassadors for being such hard working individuals who strive to support our mission daily. They mean so much to us and we wouldn't be where we are at today without them!

God bless!
