The @Foster_Group really is exceptional. The volunteers took on the hard work of organizing a storage area we’re preparing to repurpose, while moving items into a new space. We are so grateful for their help in getting this important project tackled for us.

Impact starts with meeting essential needs: safe shelter, nutritious meals, education and supportive relationships. We’ve served nearly 50,000 meals to youth in our residential services, which we believe reflects care, consistency and support in action.

#Journaling can be a simple but powerful mental health tool. For young people, writing can create space to process feelings, reflect and reset. Sometimes a few quiet moments with a notebook can go a long way. Put a 📝 in the comments if you journal.
