Employees at TFI Family Services took a break from their work, Wednesday, to celebrate the 293 children (represented with golden pinwheels) who they helped reunify with their families in Kansas this past year. Meridith Lynn, director of permanency services, told those gathered it was important to routinely take time to appreciate their successes.

“You are special,” she told the case managers and other employees, “because you look past the challenges and see a brighter future.”

Lynn also paid tribute to the families “who put in the hard work necessary to be reunified.”

Lynn said that TFI is always looking for persons or families interested in fostering children and youth, as well as potential employees who have a desire to serve children and families.

TFI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides services to children and families in multiple states.  For more information, visit kansas.tfifamily.org.
