This year, between mass closures and social distancing, they needed a new way to do that\u2014and America\u2019s Preferred Home Warranty (APHW) stepped up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPHW sponsors our event with a Lansing Lugnuts game every year, so foster families can come enjoy a meal and we can thank them, but we couldn\u2019t do that this year,\u201d said CFC CEO Julie Thomasma. \u201cSo we were talking about another way to recognize the families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During this difficult time, foster families are facing additional challenges between home schooling and earning issues, among other things. \u201cSo we used the money to purchase Meijer gift cards, and worked with APHW to develop postcards with a message of thanks,\u201d Julie said.<\/p>\n<p>The gifts are going out to about 60 foster families in mid-Michigan this week, and Julie is thrilled that CFC is able to do so through APHW\u2019s sponsorship. \u201cThese have been unique times for our families, and they will appreciate being seen and recognized in this way,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are a lot of unsung heroes in the background\u2014social workers, foster families, and the people who keep working for these kids.
