Innovation starts with listening. This past year, we expanded our community feedback loops, surveyed families and met with school staff while gathering insights directly from kids. Their voices guide us as we redesign supports, streamline resource referrals and test new approaches in real time. When we say we’re evolving, we mean it: Jackson County is shaping our next chapter.

Equity is more than a value. It’s a practice. We intentionally invest in organizations of all sizes across Jackson County, especially those rooted in communities that have historically been overlooked. When smaller or underrepresented groups have access to resources, they can do what they do best: support children with approaches that honor their culture, strengths and lived experience.

Winter can bring big feelings for kids and families. Shorter days, fewer chances to play outside and the cold weather can all contribute to seasonal depression and stress.

Here are a few small ways to make the season feel a little lighter:
❄️ Keep routines predictable
❄️ Get a few minutes of daylight when possible
❄️ Find fun ways to move indoors
❄️ Talk openly about emotions
❄️ Stay warm and take steps to avoid winter illnesses

These gentle habits can make a real difference. And remember, no family has to go through winter alone. Our community is strongest when we support one another and prioritize the mental health of our kids.

When organizations work together, kids win. Across Jackson County, the CSF partners are joining forces to make sure families can access the right support at the right time, whether it’s mental health services, after-school programs, family stability supports or crisis intervention. The CSF brings these partners together so no child has to navigate barriers alone. Collaboration is how we build a stronger safety net for every family.

Families deserve a system they can trust. That’s why the CSF’s board intentionally brings together diverse perspectives, educators, community leaders, parents, advocates and professionals with deep experience serving children. Their collective insight helps us examine challenges from every angle and make funding decisions that reflect the realities of the communities we serve.

Winter can be a tough season for many families. Short days, cold weather and disrupted routines can contribute to seasonal depression. Kids feel these changes too.

The good news: small, simple steps can help create brighter days at home. 💛
✨ Keep routines predictable
✨ Get outside, even for a few minutes of light and fresh air
✨ Add small moments of movement
✨ Talk openly about feelings
✨ Build in extra connection and comfort

No family has to navigate this season alone. By supporting one another and taking gentle, achievable steps, we can help kids feel more secure, understood and cared for.

The Children’s Services Fund is here to champion the well-being of children and families across Jackson County through every season of the year.

We’re learning that small barriers can create big setbacks for kids, especially when families struggle to navigate multiple systems. That’s why the CSF is exploring new ways to simplify access to services, including school-based connections and coordinated outreach teams. These efforts support quicker response times, ensuring families don’t fall through the cracks as their needs change.

Kwanzaa begins on December 26, a beautiful seven-day celebration of African heritage, culture and community. 🌿

Each night, families light candles on a kinara and reflect on one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, like unity, purpose, creativity and faith. 💛

It’s a time to honor the past, celebrate the present and look forward with hope, reminding us all of the power of community and shared purpose.

Wishing peace, joy and light to everyone celebrating Kwanzaa! 🌟

Jackson County’s kids come from many backgrounds and face many different challenges. The board leading the Children’s Services Fund reflects that same diversity.

When people who truly understand these communities make funding decisions, the results are stronger, fairer and grounded in real life.

For us, representation isn’t just an idea, it’s how we make sure every child gets what they need to thrive.

Prevention isn’t just a budget category, it’s a mindset.

At the Children’s Services Fund, prevention means investing in programs that help kids and families before challenges become crises. That includes things like school-based mental health education, parent support groups and youth mentoring, services that build emotional strength, resilience and connection early on.

More and more of our partners are leading this kind of proactive, community-rooted work and we’re proud to support them.

Because real progress means doing what works before kids are in crisis. And that’s how we build a stronger future for .
