Urbanna Oyster Festival queen contestant Kaydence Congleton and her little miss spat co-contestant Faith Whitaker worked together this summer to raise money for foster children and teen parents in Middlesex County. They wanted to do their part in the community by donating supplies and care packages to children in need.

Their inspiration for this project came from seeing family members and friends be able to grow and find success despite their situation. A Facebook group was created for their project, which allowed them to hear personal stories and feel even more connected to their cause.

Kaydence said, “It takes a village to raise a child and I want to be able to contribute to families at a disadvantage.” They are passionate that every foster child in Middlesex should have their own personal belongings, and should be able to go through these difficult times in their life with dignity.
