Families First
Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reunify hundreds of families each year by providing parenting skills training, therapy and other support.
Caring People Needed
On any given day, KVC Kansas provides out-of-home care for thousands of children and teens. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster parents are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference as a foster parent.

Meet Author Regina Calcaterra- Louisburg
Join us at the Louisburg, KS library to meet New York Times Best Selling Author Regina Calcaterra, author of Etched in Sand: A True Story of Five Siblings Who Survived an Unspeakable Childhood on Long Island. Copies of ‘Etched in Sand’ will be available for purchase and Calcaterra will sign books courtesy of Barnes & Noble.
Regina Calcaterra’s memoir, ‘Etched in Sand’, is an inspiring and triumphant coming-of-age story of tenacity and triumph. A gut wrenching and gripping story, ‘Etched in Sand’ chronicles Regina’s rising above her past, while fighting to keep her brother and three sisters together through it all. Beautifully written, with heartbreaking honesty, ‘Etched in Sand’ is an unforgettable reminder that regardless of social status, one can rise above their past if they have the desire and the determination to succeed.
KVC foster parents will also receive training hours for attending this meet and greet. If you have any questions, please contact Dawn Cubbison at (785) 242-8965 or dcubbison@kvc.org.
