This May, CK Family Services is hitting the road—and we’re inviting YOU to come along for the ride. Whether you're a fan of classic cars, muscle machines, or just love a good community event, two upcoming car shows are revving up support for our mission to serve children and families across North Texas. Come out, show your support, and enjoy horsepower for a cause!
When the curtains rise and the spotlight hits the stage, something magical happens—especially for children. Whether they’re in the audience, center stage, or behind the scenes, the world of theater offers kids opportunities to grow, learn, and connect in ways that can benefit them for a lifetime.
As school plays, local productions, and community theater opportunities pop up this summer, it’s the perfect time to explore how introducing children to the performing arts can support their development.
As the weather warms up and the school year winds down, Memorial Day often signals the unofficial start of summer—filled with picnics, barbecues, and family fun. But this day is rooted in something much deeper: a time to honor the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
This year, why not give Memorial Day more meaning in your home? With just a little intention, we can help kids connect with the heart of patriotism and appreciation—while still enjoying a joyful day together.
As the days grow longer and the light shifts into something softer and warmer, this season nudges us to pause, reset, and breathe a little deeper. Nature is wide awake, and with it comes the opportunity to refresh not just our routines, but our environments, gently easing us into summer.
Sometimes the best way to invite calm into chaos is to bring a little bit of nature inside.
As we celebrate the beauty found in messy, real-life moments, consider how a few houseplants might quietly support your well-being. These green companions aren’t just decorative—they can offer comfort, cleaner air, and a daily reminder that growth doesn’t have to be fast or perfect to be meaningful.
May in Texas is the perfect opportunity to step outside and soak up the sunshine before the intense summer heat settles in. The days are getting longer, the weather is pleasant, and after spending more time indoors during the winter months, now is the time to refresh your body with natural light and movement.
One major reason to enjoy the sunshine? Vitamin D! Known as the “sunshine vitamin,” it plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. But that’s not all—getting enough sunlight can also positively impact your mood and mental health.
Each year on April 22, people worldwide come together to celebrate Earth Day, a day dedicated to environmental awareness and action. It’s a perfect opportunity to teach kids the importance of caring for our planet through fun, hands-on activities that make a lasting impact.
At first glance, a community park might seem like just another green space—a place with a playground, a walking trail, and maybe a pond. But what if we told you that your local park is actually a hidden adventure, full of challenges to conquer, mysteries to uncover, and stories waiting to be told?
Whether you visit with kids, friends, or take a solo moment to breathe in fresh air, your neighborhood park is more than a destination. It’s a launchpad for imagination, growth, and connection.

For children in foster care, life can often feel unpredictable. They may wonder where they will sleep next, who will take care of them, or if they will ever feel truly safe again. Foster parents make a lasting difference by providing stability, support, and care.
