About

Together with Families Essentials

Welcome Nina to the team! ❤️ We’re so excited to welcome Nina as our new Volunteer and Youth Engagement Manager. Nina entered foster care as a child and was later adopted. Twenty-one years later, she reunited with her birth mother and came to understand even more deeply how much her mother loved her children. She brings that lived experience alongside her background in psychology, professional experience with young people and families, and a deep love and wisdom for this work. We’re incredibly grateful she’s here. Nina, welcome to Together with Families. ❤️ Let’s go. 🙌 #fostercare #familypreservation #childwelfare #youthdevelopment #togetherwithfamilies

It’s a KinRise kind of night. ❤️ Dinner. Learning. Real conversations. Lots of laughing. And tonight, hand-dyed shirts. Because belonging requires tie-dye. 🤩 KinRise is for high school students growing up with relatives to find their people, discover who they are and build what comes next. Belong. Grow. Lead. Rise. #kinrise #belonging #kinshipcare #youthleadership #community

🚨 MARIETTA, WE NEED SOME HANDS! Winter has officially arrived at the Hub. And by “arrived,” I mean Patrick and Nick helped us move a LOT of winter clothes. 😅 Now we need volunteers to help us switch out summer and get the Hub stocked and ready for families. We have volunteer spots open next Tuesday in Marietta! Bring a friend. Bring your teenager. High school students, this is a great way to get volunteer hours. Come for a little while or stay and help us knock it out. Huge thank you to Patrick and Nick for doing the heavy lifting and getting winter over here. 💪 Okay, who’s in? Comment “I’m in” and we will send you the link.

We just went LIVE again on FOX 5. 🎥 Nina and Ashley shared the WHY behind KinRise and what happens when young people are given a place to belong, grow, lead, and rise. And this program exists because people believed in the vision early. @bhardage and the Jesse Parker Williams Foundation did. ❤️ More LIVE from Together with Families around 2:35 and 3:40. 👀 #youthleadership #kinshipcare #familypreservation #fostercare

Over $60,000 raised. One unforgettable night. ❤️ Our inaugural Night of Belonging was more than we could have imagined! A room full of people who believe poverty should never separate children from their families. Together, we raised over $60,000 to help keep families together! To @bufficolquitt with @addisonjamescollective whose vision and creativity helped bring this beautiful evening to life, and our incredible event committee who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen, thank you. To our keynote speaker @kaylmay Kay Lynn Mayhue who believed and invested in Together with Families when it was just a mom with a minivan, a basement full of supplies and some friends determined to keep families together. To our title sponsor, Cobb EMC Foundation, presenting sponsor, The Cooper Firm, our team, board, volunteers, sponsors, silent auction donors and every person who gave, thank you. To our band for the beautiful music, and Jess Suro Photo Co. for the photography and Alexandra Loulias with Women in Business (Roswell) for your support and capturing these moments and more. And most importantly, to the families who courageously shared some of the hardest chapters of their lives, thank you for trusting us with your stories. These parents were already doing everything they could for their families. What they needed was a community willing to stand beside them and help open doors. Now they’re opening doors for others. This is what belonging looks like. And we’re just getting started. ❤️ As our board director Ev Rutherford said, “to God be the glory.” #collectiveimpact #nightofbelonging
