Kinship Caregivers: Families Beyond Blood

South Carolina’s Kinship Council just celebrated a year of progress with their groundbreaking “A Home for Every Child” program, empowering relatives and close friends to step in as caregivers — no blood required. Led by Chairman Jed Dews, the initiative cuts through bureaucracy to connect kinship families with vital resources like mattresses, cribs, and groceries, while amplifying their powerful stories and advocating for systemic support. Born in 2016 through a partnership with the Sisters of Charity Foundation and DSS, the council now meets quarterly across the state, uniting with agencies to ensure children in need aren’t left behind — because family, they say, is wherever love and care show up.
