2Ingage and Clay County community host foster care forum

Yahoo28-03-2025
CLAY COUNTY (KFDX/KJTL) — Community members gathered in Henrietta today for the Clay County Foster Forum, an event to raise awareness about community-based foster care and residents' role in supporting needy children.
Hosted by 2Ingage, the forum provided an open discussion on how community-based care ensures children in foster care receive the best support possible. Attendees included foster parents, child welfare professionals, and those interested in learning more about fostering.
'Story of the Crucifixion of Christ' through musical performance, community invited
The forum covered children's challenges, the benefits of placing children within their communities, and how potential foster parents can navigate the licensing process. Jack Sledge, VP of 2Ingage, said we all need community support.
'You need that community support. We all do. Whether we have a child in the system or not. We need community support and backing. We need to be able to go to the community and say, 'Hey, this family is struggling. Can you help us? How can you help us,'' Sledge said.
Beyond fostering, there are other ways you can help, such as providing clothing or therapeutic services for children in care.

Missouri firefighters dig tunnel to rescue dog

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Mo — Late Saturday night, firefighters had to get creative to save a dog that had gotten himself into deep trouble. The Eastern Douglas County Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched just before 11 p.m. Saturday to find a dog stuck between two rocks. Crews arrived to find a small dachshund named 'Fedor' that had gotten itself stuck, according to the department. The hole was only big enough for the dog to fit into, and was stuck behind a large rock. To get to him firefighters had to dig a tunnel underneath the rock about 15-feet deep to free the pooch. After about 4 hours of digging and strategizing, Fedor was pulled out and reunited with his owner. No humans or dogs were injured during the rescue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
