This past Friday, the Thompson Child Development Center was filled with so much fun and learning. We were honored to host volunteers from First Citizens Bank, who generously dedicated their morning to reading directly to our students as Reading Buddies.

Thank you to the entire First Citizens Bank team for your time, your amazing generosity, and your dedication to early literacy!đź’ś

South Carolina is facing a critical need for foster families—especially for teens (ages 10–17), sibling groups, and children with complex medical or therapeutic needs.

Support can take many forms: fostering, mentoring, volunteering, or advocating

During Foster Care Awareness Month, we’re reminded of the ongoing need to support children in foster care and the families who care for them.

Every action helps create brighter futures for children in need. ❤️

On Saturday night, crowned author, keynote speaker, and Thompson foster care parent as the match’s Coronation Honoree! 👑⚽

Peter constantly uses his platform to bring vital visibility to the children and families navigating the foster care system, and his words on what it truly means to be a foster parent resonate so deeply with everything we do here at Thompson.

Thank you, Peter, for using your powerful voice to advocate for our kids, and thank you to Charlotte FC for shining a well-deserved spotlight on the foster care community this weekend!

“Children deserve modern solutions to today’s problems, not yesterday’s strategies repeated louder.”

There is a national shortage of foster homes. And solving it will require more than awareness alone.

Our latest blog explores why foster care recruitment must evolve through stronger marketing, better engagement strategies, technology, partnerships, and long-term investment.

Because creating a home for every child requires more than good intentions. It requires innovation, ex*****on, and leadership.

By celebrating the global roots of through a unique culinary experience, everyone in attendance did something truly powerful: helping to fund critical foster care initiatives!

We are also deeply moved and incredibly grateful for a massive $120,000 donation from Charlotte FC to support our mission. This incredible generosity ensures we can continue providing a safe, loving home for every child across the Carolinas. 🏠💜

And while a little rain kept the tasting indoors, nothing could stop this community; we even managed to step out onto the pitch together to close out the night!

To our incredible guests, sponsors, and partners: Thank you for stepping up for the kids in our community. This is just the beginning of a beautiful new tradition and a truly lasting impact.
