A Letter from our CFO

I love spring. I love chocolate. I LOVE shopping!!! Did you know you can support CMFCAA by shopping on Amazon? How many of us already shop on Amazon? By shopping through Amazon smile, Amazon will contribute a percentage of your purchase directly to CMFCAA. The best part is you don't have to do anything you are not already doing, and you don't have to buy anything you don't want. Simply follow the link below and select Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association as the organization you are supporting. Happy spring and happy shopping! Please don't forget the chocolate – I heard they sell it in bulk on Amazon smile

VOLUNTEER QUOTE:

"I love volunteering for CMFCAA because I owe it to the next generation to walk them through the struggles I've overcome.  I enjoy helping the older youth with their journey into the workforce.  These kids are growing up in front of the communities eyes.  There is a need for help whether it's being a foster parent, financially there to help the organization, or to be an advocate. It simply comes down to the need.  I was absolutely shocked at the need and taken back by their stories and I never thought these stories were happening right here in our community."  -Dawn Hart
