With Gratitude This Holiday Season

By: Kimberly Hendricks | Social Media & Content Development Intern, First Things First Porter County

As the holiday season approaches, we want to take a moment to say thank you. At First Things First Porter County, we know that the early years of a child’s life are filled with wonder, curiosity, and growth—and that none of it happens alone. It happens because of you.

To parents and caregivers, thank you for the love, patience, and dedication you pour into your children every single day. The time you spend reading a book, exploring the world, or simply listening to your child’s thoughts and dreams is shaping the foundation of their future. Your everyday acts of care are truly priceless.

To our community partners, thank you for your commitment, energy, and expertise. Whether you provide activities, resources, or guidance, your efforts help ensure that every child in Porter County has the support they need to thrive. You make our work possible, and you make a real difference in the lives of children and families.

This season is a reminder of the importance of connection, community, and celebration. We are deeply grateful for each of you—for your trust, your partnership, and your dedication to our youngest citizens. Together, we are helping children grow, learn, and dream big.

From all of us at First Things First Porter County, we wish you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, love, and meaningful moments with your family. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey—we couldn’t do it without you.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The First Things First Porter County Team
