Executive Director Message - January 2026Jerrod Guddat Published on: 01/01/2026

We believe that caring for children is a sacred right, privilege, and responsibility that rests first with families. When families cannot or will not care for them, it becomes the responsibility of good people and organizations everywhere to do so.
