We are a non-profit organization supporting foster and adoptive families by providing family strengthening events and care programs to encourage true, honest, and happy children's smiles.
Since 2010, Share My Smile has held steadfast to our mission of fostering positive change in the lives of over 225 foster and adoptive families, and over 500 children. We have grown so much over the last few years. We now have nine board members, an Executive Director, a Program Specialist, three County Ambassadors, two Volunteer Leaders, a Volunteer Assistant, and regular event volunteers. Enrollment grows around 20% a year.
As we grow in number of families, funding support from the community is imperative to our success. What we provide is different from what any other services provide. We affect the day to day. And if we weren't around, over 700 people would be affected.
Do Good Days runs parallel to our Spring campaign, so this is the time of year where we can really use your help with funding.
Imagine the impact you can make!
- You are helping children receive birthday and Christmas gifts that help them feel special, important, and valued.
- You are giving kids positive experiences they may have never had access to.
- You are fostering connection, community, and support for parents and families as they come together with others experiencing similar situations.
- You are helping us provide services NO OTHER NONPROFIT IN OUR SERVICE AREAS provide!
PS: We are in the midst of planning an online auction to run May 15 through the 27th, a Foster Care Impact Summit to be held in June, and our 2nd Annual SMILE FEST September 7th. Check our website at https://sharemysmile.org for more information!
