A Community That Cares

Katelyn Hall • August 14, 2025

Back to School is a success!

As the summer winds down and school bells start ringing, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible support we received from our community over the past month. At Seven Homes, we believe that every child—especially those in foster care—deserves to feel seen, supported, and set up for success. And thanks to you, our community, that vision came to life in the most heartwarming way.

Starting a new school year can be daunting for any child, but for those navigating the complexities of foster care, it’s even more important to feel included. Because of you, these children will walk into their classrooms this fall with confidence and a sense of belonging. They’ll be just like every other kid around them—ready to learn, laugh, and grow.

This year’s Back to School Bash was one for the books! With your generous donations, time, and compassion, we were able to provide children in foster care with brand new backpacks filled with school supplies. These aren’t just items—they’re symbols of dignity, normalcy, and hope.

We’re in awe of the power of community. Every donated notebook, every packed backpack, every encouraging word shared—each act played a part in reminding our youth that they matter.

Want to get involved? Take a look at our EVENTS page, and follow us on social media for more stories.

Thank you to our Donors:
  • The Phoenix Company
  • The Crowne
  • Anonymous Individuals
  • Encounter Church - High Point
  • Urgent Church
  • The Summit Church - Oak Ridge
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You helped turn an ordinary school supply drive into an extraordinary outpouring of love. Together, we are creating a world where every child feels prepared and proud to begin a new chapter.

One of the ways we affirm a child’s worth from the very beginning is through our Bags for Belonging program. Every child who enters foster care through Seven Homes receives a brand-new backpack or diaper bag filled with essentials and comfort items, carefully curated with their needs and hearts in mind.
How to tell the difference between a Tantrum or Meltdown.

As parents and caregivers, it can be hard — and sometimes overwhelming — to know how to respond when a child is upset. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out whether you're dealing with a tantrum or a meltdown.
