Prior incidents of going

impetus to the scope of the report. The report goes

We suggest that a missing child case be enough
to rise to the level of “critical incident.” Of course,
this will likely add a fiscal note due to the increase
in “critical incident” calls regarding Missouri foster
children who are missing. However, the immediate
cost will outweigh the negative outcomes of
trafficking, drug abuse, kidnapping and more.
Foster children are a vulnerable population
and under the care, custody and control of
Missouri’s child welfare system. We must take the
recommendations seriously regarding the OIG

CMFCAA would like to thank the donors, supporters,
and volunteers who made the 13th annual Gala held
on November 4th, 2021 a huge success. Over 400
were in attendance at the Capital Plaza in Jefferson
City for the event that featured four local adoptive
families. The Faulstich, Knollmeyer, Hamblin, and
Kelly families (pictured on the cover) shared their
stories of adversity and joy as they welcomed
children into their home . The program also featured
three local musicians, plus live and silent auctions.

As a special surprise, Healthy Blue Missouri donated
$50,000 to CMFCAA at the Gala to help rebuild the
playground that burned in a fire last month.

A very special thank you to our

Back to School

Care Packs

CMFCAA’s Direct Services team spent time in July and
August gearing up and planning for Back to School
season! This is one of the busiest times of the year as we
prepare to give away hundreds of notebooks, backpacks,
pens and pencils, and more to our foster, adoptive, and
kinship children and families.
The Back to School Bash events were held in Rolla,
Columbia, and Jefferson City in July and August. This
year we packed back packs and distributed supplies to
over 400 kiddos throughout the region.
The Direct Services team is so thankful to the other staff
and our volunteers for helping us pull off these events so
that our families could be better prepared to go back to
school this fall.

welcomes Reece Treasure to the
Board of Directors! Congratulations,
Reece! We are excited to build better
outcomes for kids in hard places.
Here’s a little bit about Reece: “I’m a
recruiter for Veterans United Home
Loans, the nation’s largest provider of
VA home loans and recently named
#33 on Fortune 100’s Best Companies
to Work For.
Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out
with my pup, Luna, or hitting the
gym. I’m a sucker for some 2000’s
throwback music or a good black
bean burger! Most importantly, I enjoy
meeting new people, learning about
their goals and where they envision
their career going, hence why I am so
passionate about recruitment!”

The group was able to attend workshops during

During downtime in the evenings, the group

to embody the true value of consistency, structure, and natural

with each other through weekend visits, sleepovers, and other
family activities. They co-parent with foster parents of the siblings
