At the end of May, One Accord for Kids had the incredible opportunity to partner with First Presbyterian Church Midland’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) to benefit The Attic Resource Center. Throughout the week, the VBS kids showed what it means to care for others in meaningful and creative ways.
From kindergarten through 6th grade, students worked together to raise money for The Attic. They set up lemonade stands, asked neighbors and family for donations, and even sold artwork they created themselves—all to support children in foster care.
The Attic Resource Center team visited VBS one day to talk with the kindergarten through 4th graders about what foster care is, how it affects kids in our community, and how others can help. The students asked thoughtful questions and showed genuine compassion and curiosity.
Later that week, the 5th and 6th graders took their involvement a step further by volunteering in person. One team visited The Attic Resource Center to sort donations and assemble hygiene kits for foster youth. While another team cleaned and organized visitation rooms at the Midland CPS office. They truly made a hands-on difference.
We’re so grateful for the partnership with First Presbyterian Church Midland and the generosity of these young changemakers. Their kindness is already shaping a stronger, more compassionate community.
