Strengthened. Empowered. Hopeful. This is what we hear from our Buckner Family Pathways graduates after completing the program. Because when women rise, their families rise too. That’s why we provide single moms with safe, affordable housing, child care, counseling, and more — so moms can be fully present at school and at home, building a future for generations to come.

37 million people in the U.S. live below the poverty line. That’s families struggling to afford housing, food, and education every single day. At Buckner International, we believe poverty is not permanent. Through programs like Family Pathways, foster care support, and community aid, we help families build stability and hope for the future.

If you have a foster kid in your life, don’t forget them at Christmas. Give them a gift just as big, and as flashy, and as expensive as you would the bio or adopted kid. Believe it or not, they remember, and this small gesture can actually make a huge difference in the life of a kid who is probably experiencing a lot of unwanted emotions around this time of year. As grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, or neighbors, we can help foster families by loving on ALL their kids this holiday season.

#GivingTuesday2025 is here! We invite you to consider supporting our work and sharing in the gift of generosity this Giving Tuesday. As a community, we can continue to create change and shine hope in the lives of others. 💙 Give, share, support: buckner.org/dev-december-o…

Sharenting: when parents or caregivers overshare pictures, stories, or updates online about their child’s life. What parents post online can stay with a child into adulthood. As parents and caregivers, we must take extra precautions in what we share about our children’s lives. While it’s tempting to post about their adoption circumstances or current behavior struggles, it’s best to ask yourself if your child would approve if they were 16, 20, or even 40 years old. Every individual, no matter their age, should be able to determine what about their life they share with the world. Let them be the ones to tell their story.
