May is Foster Care Awareness Month — Here’s How You Can Make a Difference

Did you know that on any given day, there are nearly 7,000 children in Oklahoma’s foster care system? At Anna’s House Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a safe, stable, and loving home — and we know that creating that kind of care takes a community. That’s why this May, for Foster Care Awareness Month, we’re inviting young professionals like you to step into a role that can truly change the lives of Edmond’s foster youth!


You don’t have to become a foster parent to support foster care (although we’d love to talk to you if you’re interested!). Our Edmond-based agency offers a variety of ways for young professionals to get involved:
● Rocking babies and playing with kiddos on the playground at Parent’s Night Out May 20th! Quail Springs Baptist Church 6pm – 8pm.
● Sponsoring a table at our Gumdrops & Lollipops Gala on Sept 20th! Visit: https://onecau.se/_a2mq61
● Hosting a diaper and/or toy drive at your workplace!
● Inviting us to host a Lunch & Learn at your workplace!


Foster care isn’t just a system — it’s a story of hope, healing, and home. At Anna’s House Foundation, we’re building a community where vulnerable children can thrive, and we need young leaders like you to help us write the next chapter. Ready to get involved? Visit www.annashousefoundation.org, or email Britley Little at britley@annashousefoundation.org!

    Help us give a warm EYP welcome to our newest member, Tori Aten!

    Originally from Hays, Kansas, Tori moved to Oklahoma during her senior year of high school before earning her degree in Construction Engineering from Oklahoma State University. After interning with JE Dunn in 2018, she joined the company full-time in 2019 and has been building her career in the OKC metro ever since.

    Tori is beginning an exciting new chapter as she and her fiancé are moving to Edmond this week after recently purchasing their first home together. They're looking forward to putting down roots in the community and celebrating their wedding next April!

    We're excited to have you as part of the EYP community, Tori, and can't wait to see you at upcoming events. Welcome to Edmond! 👏
