RALSTON, Neb. (KMTV) — A local organization supporting foster families and kids held a gala to share stories and support its mission.

Foster Love held its Power of One Gala at the Venues at the Granary in Ralston on Thursday.

KMTV is a proud sponsor and 3 News Now Anchor Serese Cole was the emcee.

Founder and CEO Amber Richardson said the goal for the event was to share lived experiences and celebrate a successful year.

“More people have stepped up. More businesses have stepped up through collection drives, donations, sorting volunteering and just really giving of their time,” said Richardson.

Foster Love runs a boutique where foster kids can shop for free to find clothes that fit their personalities and make them feel good.

If it sounds familiar, it's because they were featured in Positively the Heartland on Monday.

Richardson says last year that they had more than 1,200 shopping appointments and was involved with about 700 youth.
