We are loving the opportunity to connect with friends and colleagues from across the state at the ANFRC Statewide Gathering!

Today, we explored the importance of using data to tell our story and how to tailor that story to different audiences—from legislators and funders to community partners and families. The numbers matter, but it’s the impact behind them that truly makes a difference.

We can’t wait to see what Day 2 has in store for us!

Fun fact: Did you know Kim has done just about everything? One of her many jobs was working at a bait shop in Arkansas. Needless to say, she felt right at home during our visit to the Maritime Museum today! 🎣🚤

Taylor, Courtney, and Makensie are enjoying their time in Phoenix, Arizona at the NAWDP 42nd Annual Conference! 🌵✈️

JAFSC staff had a wonderful time attending the NAVIGATE Nonprofit Network Conference in Huntsville on Tuesday!

NAVIGATE brings together nonprofit professionals, board members, and community leaders from across Alabama to learn, collaborate, and strengthen the work being done in our communities. The conference covered topics such as nonprofit leadership, governance, grant writing, fundraising, finance, marketing, and community engagement — all designed to help organizations grow stronger and better serve families now and in the future.

At Jasper Area Family Services Center, we deeply value professional growth and ongoing learning opportunities for our staff. Investing in training and development allows our team to bring back fresh ideas, innovative strategies, and new resources that directly benefit the children and families we serve every day. Conferences like NAVIGATE help strengthen our organization, improve the quality of our programs, and ensure we are continuing to grow alongside the changing needs of our community.

We are thankful for opportunities that allow our staff to connect with other nonprofit leaders, gain valuable knowledge, and continue building a stronger future for Walker County families. The work we do is always evolving, and we are committed to learning, growing, and serving our community with excellence. 💚

🎉🎂 Belated Happy Birthday, Amy! 🎂🎉

We’re a little late, but we couldn’t let the day pass without celebrating Amy Herren, one of our amazing Pre-K teachers at North Highland, who has been with the Jasper Area Family Service Center since November 2022! 💚

Amy truly brings a special heart to everything she does. With experience as a social worker, café owner, and teacher, she really is the complete package. Her sweet nature and giving spirit shine through every day, especially in the way she connects with her students.

One of Amy’s favorite parts of her job is seeing the excitement when her students discover something new—those “aha” moments are what she loves most! ✨

💚 Favorites & Fun Facts:
🎂 Favorite cake: Vanilla with vanilla or cream cheese frosting
🎨 Favorite color: Green
🍫 Favorite snack: Reese’s cups (and white chocolate Reese’s too!)
☕ Favorite drinks: Coffee, water, and Coke
🎀 Fun fact: She can turn a dollar into a bowtie!

Amy celebrated her birthday the best way—spending time with family and enjoying food she didn’t have to cook (a well-earned break for someone who cooks the rest of the time! 😉).

Help us wish Amy a very happy belated birthday! We are so thankful for the heart, joy, and dedication she brings to our team and students every day! 🎉💐💚
