The Tift Regional Medical Center (TRMC) Foundation recently donated $20,000 to Called to Care in Tifton, GA.

“Called to Care is a foster care ministry located in South Georgia. It was established to provide a secure and loving home for these children,” said Mandy Brooks, TRMC Foundation Director says. “Yet hardships, of all kinds, often stand in the way, leaving children hopeless and alone as they navigate the world of foster care and adoption.”

Foster care, adoption, missions, foster youth mentorship, social work support and trauma informed care are the six primary areas of focus for Called to Care. As the largest foster care ministry in South Georgia, they have had the privilege of serving over 20,000 children in the past 11 years, and the work continues. Foster homes frequently have urgent requirements and the funds from the TRMC Foundation will be used to assist with bedding and car seats for the families.

“The TRMC Foundation was thrilled to partner with Called to Care. The donated funds were made available by the TRMC Foundation’s “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala,” said Brooks. “This year’s fundraising efforts will continue to provide community support to our area EMTs; as well as organizations like Called to Care.”

The Gala will be held at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center on March 15, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m. and will include a seated dinner, silent auction, musical entertainment, and an opportunity to win $10,000 in cash.  For more information, contact (229) 391-3310.
