A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear 4KIDS Friends,
Looking back on 4KIDS’ 25th Anniversary year is nothing short of miraculous. Your faithful friendship through prayer, support, and generosity has changed more lives than we could ever truly count. We know that each life we touch has the ability to go on and touch countless more lives–your legacy will keep growing far beyond what we could hope or imagine.
Thank you for believing in this transformational work.
Until Every Child Has a Home,
Kevin J. Enders 4KIDS President & CEO
A SEASON OF GROWING BEYOND
As we look back on this year and to the year ahead, growing beyond remains central, as this community brings hope, homes, and healing to more kids and families. Expansion efforts will continue to include national and international initiatives in addition to our local and regional impact–none of this would be possible without your faithful support.
The 4KIDS paradigm spreads hope, homes, and healing throughout 12 Florida counties, and beyond through innovative services that impact lives around the world.
HOPE
Hope is experienced with preventative care that supports at-risk families. With CarePortal, this online platform connects real-time community needs with the local church community. Hope is also extended through HopeConnect that puts Everyday Moments in the hands of parents, equipping them to infuse the Hope of God’s Word into their families' lives.
HOMES
Homes provide a refuge to kids and young adults in crisis who need a place to belong with people who love them. Now bringing loving, 4KIDS Foster Homes to 12 Florida counties! Solutions for sibling groups through 4KIDS Specialized Homes, young moms at His Caring Place, and young adults with Independent Living, all extend even more opportunities for restoration.
HEALING
Healing is made possible to kids and families through the EPIC Therapeutic Approach. Our clinical team of trauma-informed experts train families and offer one-on-one and family counseling. The EPIC Therapeutic Approach continues to impact even more lives as resources and training opportunities spread throughout our community, nationally, and internationally.
