Making It Matthews

What a wonderful evening at the Summer of Smiles event hosted by The Fostering Foundation! ☀️🍿

Tiffany, Camilla, and Clare had so much fun stopping by to serve popcorn and spend time with the amazing families who attended. There was so much joy, laughter, and excitement throughout the day, and it was truly special to see the community come together to support such a meaningful cause.

The Fostering Foundation does an incredible job creating opportunities and memorable experiences for foster and adoptive families, and we are grateful to have been one of the many community partners who helped make the event possible.

Thank you to The Fostering Foundation for all that you do and for allowing us to be a small part of such a special night. We loved seeing so many smiling faces and are already looking forward to next year! 💛💙

What a wonderful morning celebrating the ribbon-cutting for Gentle Carousel's Reading with Horses program! 📚🐴

This annual summer literacy program, part of the CEP Equine Initiative Ocala and presented by Pyranha, is such a special way to encourage children to discover the joy of reading while connecting with some incredible four-legged friends.

The kids were absolutely thrilled to meet Moonshadow, and seeing their excitement made this ribbon-cutting even more memorable. What a fun and meaningful event for our community! ❤️
