Fostering ISN’T scary! What’s scary is the possibility of a foster youth not getting to experience Halloween fun!

Many children in foster care haven’t gotten the opportunity to experience trick-or-treating, dressing up in a fun costume, or watching Halloween movies with loved ones. You have the chance to give them these firsts, and many more!

Learn more about fostering with us. No tricks, just treats 🎃 learn more at necco.org

Issue 10's funding helps provide critical services for children and families, including foster care support, mental health resources, healthcare access, and safe shelter.

We're proud to support efforts that strengthen the wellbeing of children across our community!

We hope you'll show up to the polls and support Issue 10 for early voting this weekend, or on Election Day this upcoming Tuesday!

This Thanksgiving, a child could have something to be thankful for: YOU.
Right now, there are children who need a safe, loving place to call home... and there is a major shortage of those homes.

If you start foster parent training next week, you will be ready to open your home before Thanksgiving, becoming the home a child needs just in time for the holidays.
This Thanksgiving, consider giving something that can change a child’s life: a home where they feel safe, loved, and wanted.

Necco is here to support you and your family.

Can you open your home? Message us or visit necco.org to learn more about becoming a foster family.

Pam Priddy didn’t just help build Necco—she helped shape countless lives along the way.

A devoted leader, mentor, and friend, Pam’s impact stretched far beyond our walls—reaching families, children, and communities across the Midwest. Those who knew her best remember her strength, her honesty, and the way she led with both heart and purpose.

This tribute brings together voices, memories—even a special appearance from Governor Andy Beshear—to honor a legacy that continues to guide our mission today.

Watch to see how one person’s passion can change everything.

📣 URGENT NEED – FOSTER HOMES in the West KY region📣

Right now, our Necco Foster Care team in Paducah is facing a heartbreaking reality…

We do not have enough open beds to meet the needs of children coming into care.

That means there are children right here in our community who need a safe, stable, and loving home, and we are being forced to say no simply because we don’t have a family available.

💔 No child should have to wait for a place to feel safe.

We know many of our current foster families are already giving so much, and we are incredibly grateful for you! But we need your help again.

👉 If you are a current foster parent:
Would you consider opening your home to another child or sibling group?

👉 If you have ever thought about fostering:
Now is the time. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be willing to care.

✅ Our team provides:
• Ongoing support and training
• 24/7 assistance
• A dedicated team walking beside you every step of the way

It truly takes a community to care for children, and right now, our community is needed more than ever.

📩 If you are willing to help or want to learn more, please reach out to us directly at 270-898-1293 or send us a message.

You can change a child’s story.
You can be the reason they feel safe tonight.
