Events at With Love

Annual Events 

Annual Car Show Fundraiser

In 2024 With Love hosted or first-ever car show! Our Executive Director, Vennisa, entered foster care at age 2 alongside her sister, both later being adopted together. In 2008 she became a relative foster parent, later welcoming may children into her home over the next 14 years. She is passionate about supporting the fostering community and she has a love for classic cars. The proud owner of her dream car, a 1964 Chevy Impala, Vennisa is excited to unite the communities she loves to raise awareness about how With Love supports children in care.

Together, in 2024 we raised: $12,662 surpassing our GOAL! Stay tuned for September 2025’s Car Show date. Sponsors, vendors and raffles needed!

Back-to-School  

Back-to-school expenses remain a challenge for many families as costs rise.This is particularly stressful for foster families welcoming multiple children into their homes. Every summer, with the support of our incredible community we gather back-to-school supplies to support foster families ensuring kids are starting the school year off on the right foot.

In August, we host a special event where children in care come to hand pick these items at no cost. To make this event a success, we need supply drive hosts, sponsors, food vendors, activity hosts and more!

The Warm Embrace of a Community

In 2024 we supported 498 children at our Season of Giving Holiday Event. Resource parents were invited to shop for new toys and stocking stuffers for the children in their care all free of charge. Foster parents enjoyed a continental breakfast, coffee, gift wrapping and childcare (often a barrier to attending events). With arms full, parents expressed their gratitude highlighting the relief, support and dignity felt through the shopping experience.  

This annual event is possible thanks to toy drive hosts, sponsors and an incredible number of volunteers.
