The Family Initiative

The Family Initiative (TFI) has the strength of experience: founded in 1965 as a rural day camp for youth, TFI has grown to become a multi-state child welfare organization providing a broad array of quality services to children and families with compassion and care. Our strength as an organization lies in the fact that we do what is best for children and families. 

TFI continues to create new foster parent resources and develop innovative solutions as we work to meet the needs of families and children. Many of our local staff in Texoma have deep ties to the community, so we also have the ability to serve the unique needs of children and families in Texoma.

HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Your support of TFI helps provide for things not covered in our annual budget that assure that children in foster care are provided with opportunities, experiences, and activities similar to their peers who are not in foster care. Some examples include:

• Holiday Gifts
•  School Supplies
• Bicycles and Sports Equipment
• Fees for Extracurricular Activities
• Prom Dresses and Tuxedos
• Dorm Supplies and Living Expenses for Young Adults (18-20) Aging Out of Foster Care

Your support also helps provide for the many expenses involved in maintaining the Blue Skies residential facility for children and youth suffering from abuse and trauma. Some examples include:

• Books for the Blue Skies Library
• Music Therapy for Kids at Blue Skies
• Building Fund for Future Gymnasium/Recreation Building for Kids at Blue Skies and Youth Aging Out of Foster Care

The needs of local foster kids are great! YOU can help make an impact in their lives TODAY!
