In the month of September, we give special recognition to Kinship Caregivers — those who step up to provide children with the love, stability, and family connection they need.
Kinship Caregivers are grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, or close family friends who open their homes and hearts when children cannot live with their parents. By keeping kids connected to their roots, culture, and traditions, Kinship Care strengthens families and communities.
🧡 To every Kinship Caregiver: thank you for your dedication, compassion, and resilience. You’re not just providing a safe place to grow — you’re preserving the bonds of family. 👨👩👦👦
To our incredible employees and workers everywhere who dedicate their talent, time and skills to positively impact communities every day, we thank you and wish you a day of nothing but relaxation.
Every July, we set aside the fourth Sunday of the month to celebrate the often-overlooked heroes of society: parents. Whether a family is led by two parents, a single parent, or another guardian, these figures are crucial in providing financial support and nurturing emotional growth and development in their children. Parents are constantly making sacrifices to better their children’s lives, and on this day, we encourage everyone to express their gratitude and appreciation. Happy Parents’ Day!
We have a lot going on at Cayuga Centers.
