Building Trust and Giving Back with Ares Management
At Foster Love, we know that working together is the key to making a real difference. That’s why we were so excited when Ares Management reached out to partner with us for a virtual volunteer event. The team came together to assemble Sweet Cases, helping provide children in foster care with essential items they need to feel safe and loved, all while learning how to build trust in a team.
Ares’ commitment to creating positive change in communities and their focus on building trust in a team really stood out during this event.
A Heart for Helping
Ares Management is all about driving shared prosperity, and their core values reflect this. They strive to be a force for good by making a positive impact, being entrepreneurial, and working collaboratively. It was clear from the start that they shared our mission to help children in foster care thrive. Through their volunteer efforts, they demonstrated exactly what it means to be dedicated stewards of the community.
How Ares Built Trust in Their Team with Foster Love
The virtual volunteer session was an excellent example of how to build trust in a team. Ares’ employees were actively engaged, asking thoughtful questions and showing a deep interest in learning more about the challenges children in foster care face. By fostering open communication and encouraging questions, they created an environment where everyone felt comfortable and valued. This collaborative spirit is key in any team, and it’s what allows us to do the important work we do together.
A Day of Impact
During the virtual event, the Ares team came together to assemble Sweet Cases—duffel bags filled with essential items like hygiene kits, a teddy bear, a blanket, and a coloring book. These bags are crucial for children in foster care, giving them something personal and comforting during times of transition. The team worked efficiently and with a clear sense of purpose, knowing that their efforts would have a lasting impact on children’s lives.
Their dedication went beyond just assembling the cases. They were interested in the bigger picture, asking about the foster care system, how we support children, and how they could stay involved. It was clear they didn’t just see this as a task to check off, but as a way to make a real difference. Their willingness to learn and grow alongside us made it a truly meaningful experience.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to collaborate with organizations like Ares Management, we’re excited about the future. This virtual event is just one example of how we can work together to support the foster care community. Ares’ commitment to making a positive impact aligns perfectly with our mission, and we’re looking forward to exploring more ways we can make a difference together.
For any team, building trust is essential to success. Ares Management showed us that by working together, asking questions, and staying dedicated to the cause, we can achieve incredible things. Their involvement helped us bring joy and support to children who need it most, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their partnership.
