🎉 What a Fun Day at the Annual Knowlton Park Family Fun Day! 💙

Our Annual Knowlton Park Family Fun Day that was held on July 21, 2026, for foster, adoptive, and kinship families was an incredible success! This special event is our way of celebrating and thanking the amazing caregivers who open their hearts and homes to children every day. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment truly changes lives.

A heartfelt thank you to Jayme Grandmaison, owner of Ellsworth Nutrition and Bucksport Nutrition, for coordinating with the talented Barber DEKO of Deko’s Kutz to provide fresh, stylish haircuts for children and caregivers alike. It was a huge hit!

We are especially grateful to Terri Stutz of United Foster Family Support, Ashley Pesek of AMHC and Cody's Closet, and Cathy McCann of CHCS for helping organize such a memorable day.

Community partners including Healthy Acadia, Job Corps, A Family for ME, The Resource Parent Care Team, and AMHC connected with families by sharing valuable resources and support. We also appreciate the members of DHHS District 7, including Jill Hunter, Manager of Field Operations, and Director Bobbi Johnson, for joining us and showing their support for our foster, adoptive, and kinship families.

Most importantly, thank you to every business, organization, volunteer, and donor who helped make this event possible. Your generosity created a day filled with smiles, laughter, connection, and lasting memories.

And to the families we proudly serve at Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine (AFFM) Thank you for everything you do for Maine's children. We are honored to celebrate you!
