A Family’s Journey From Struggle to Reunion | Chaddock In mid-July, our Foster and Adoption services team got to witness a wonderful reunion: siblings in our foster care program joined back together with their birth parents! Their legal custody was returned, the case was closed, and our staff says there wasn’t a dry eye in the courtroom!

What an amazing week of volunteer service it has been at Chaddock! Our friends from Dunlap Prospect UMC along with a group of NOMADs made an incredible and lasting difference on Chaddock’s campus. They stocked and organized Grandma’s Closet, labored for hours in the heat beautifying our grounds, and tackled a demolition project. Sweat, smiles, and God’s Spirit shined for all to see. Thank you so much to the volunteers for their efforts. We also want to thank Melrose Chapel, Vermont Street and Union UMCs for providing wonderful meals for the volunteers and welcoming them to Quincy. THANK YOU!
