Today is the last day of April! They say April showers bring May flowers, and in the spirit of Child Abuse Prevention Month, I hope the showers of information and education you received throughout this month’s social media campaign will continue to be fruitful as we move into the rest of the year. Child abuse is something that happens all year which is why we need to continue working to end it throughout the year. This month is simply the time we are reminded about how ma...ny suffering children need our help and support.

Our Supervisor Spotlight this month is: Christal Jones. CMFCAA is very grateful for the leadership over our Direct Services Department by our Supervisor Christal Jones. Christal has been with CMFCAA for 3 years. She has worn many hats while here at CMFCAA, including being the Supervisor over 3 different programs. Christal is based out of the Headquarters in Jefferson City, MO. This month Christal has went above and beyond to get tasks done for our families. She has been w...orking diligently to open a clothing closet in Jefferson City for our families to be able to shop. Christal is always willing to do anything asked of her with a smile on her face. She is often the person our team goes to for life advice. Thank you so much Christal for all your hard work and dedication towards CMFCAA and the families we serve. See more

Yes, foster children needing homes are typically over five, contain multiple siblings and at times medically fragile. Yes, they need a family to stay, support and provide healing. Yes, they can love and attach. Yes, you can make a difference no matter what the age, background or situation. The worst poverty of all is having no family.
