Thompson Child & Family Focus

12/15/2025

Last week Mark Fi**en Ford generously hosted a toy drive that truly made a difference in our community. Thanks to the incredible support from everyone who stopped by, donations poured in and helped fill a Ford truck from top to bottom with toys and gifts. These donations will directly benefit the kids at Thompson, helping bring joy, comfort, and smiles during the holiday season.

We are so grateful to Mark Fi**en Ford and every individual who contributed their time, generosity, and kindness to make this toy drive a success. 💜

This holiday season, we’re inviting our community to come together to support children and families across Charlotte. 💙

Join us Tuesday, December 16 from 6 to 8 pm at the Hyatt Centric SouthPark. Thompson is proud to partner with The Agency Charlotte and Rico Dowdle for this special event, benefiting children and families served through foster care and community services. We are collecting new, unwrapped toys for children ages 6 to 13 to help create a Christmas experience filled with surprise, dignity, and joy for the families we serve.

Thank you to WCCB Charlotte's CW and WCCB Rising News for highlighting this event and helping us reach our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Heritage & Harvest. 🥃✨ Together, we enjoyed an extraordinary bourbon experience and created real impact for children in foster care.

Most importantly, your support provided Stability Support that covers case management, school coordination, and essential household items for families who need it most. 💛

A special thanks to Chief’s, The Goodyear House, our partners at Jefferson’s Bourbon, and our event sponsor OMJ Clothing for helping bring this meaningful evening to life.

You did it! 💜 This afternoon we crossed our $7,500 Giving Tuesday goal, all thanks to you.

But we’re not stopping there. The need is real, and families are still counting on us. So we’re aiming higher: a new goal of $13,000 by midnight.

Every dollar helps provide diapers, wipes, and essential support for local children and families who need it most.

If you haven’t made your gift yet, or if you can help us finish strong, the time is now. Thank you for lifting up our community today. Your generosity is making a difference.
