Thanksgiving at Its Best

Last week, our clients enjoyed a very special Thanksgiving luncheon thanks to the leadership of Marquitta, our Operational Support Specialist and retired Air Force veteran, who spearheaded the event. She was joined by incredible soldiers from Lackland Air Force Base who volunteered their time to serve, spend time with, and celebrate our clients.

It was an afternoon filled with delicious food, meaningful conversations, and joyful moments—180 reasons to be thankful. We are grateful for the service, compassion, and community shown by everyone who helped make this day truly memorable.

Adoption changes lives—for children, adults, and families of all kinds.
