This holiday season, my favorite gift isn’t wrapped in colorful paper or waiting under the tree – it’s the incredible community of caring individuals who come together in Hillsborough County to make a difference for our children and families!

I am grateful to serve alongside our staff and partner organizations, our incredible foster and adoptive parents, guardians ad litem, the judiciary, and everyone involved in our system of care. Your remarkable talents and unwavering dedication truly transform lives every day. Working with you to change local child welfare for the better is a true gift that I deeply cherish.

I wish you all a very merry holiday season, and I look forward to a new year of creating new possibilities for the families and youth we are privileged to serve.

Sincerely,

Terri Balliet
Chief Executive Officer
Children’s Network of Hillsborough County
