FFCU Chooses 2025 Annual Charity
Family Financial Credit Union is proud to support Kids Belong as our 2025 charity partner! Founded in 2013, Kids Belong works to rally the community around foster care, ensuring that children in West Michigan have the support and stability they deserve.
Their twofold approach provides direct support to foster, adoptive, and kinship (FAK) families—offering essentials like clothing, holiday gifts, and school supplies—while also building a strong network of foster families through events and peer connections. By fostering a sense of community, Kids Belong helps caregivers navigate the challenges of foster care with understanding and support.
FFCU chose Kids Belong because their mission reflects our values of empowerment and community. We look forward to making a difference together! Learn more at kidsbelong.org.
