🎓 CALLING ALL FOSTER FAMILIES WITH HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS! 🎓

October is here, and that means college application season is officially underway! ❤️

Did you know that many colleges and universities offer free application processing fees during October? This can be a great opportunity for your senior to apply to schools without having to worry about those extra application costs.

✨ Encourage your senior to start exploring colleges
✨ Check application deadlines
✨ Look for fee-free application opportunities
✨ Ask their school counselor about additional fee waivers and resources

Foster youth may have access to additional college scholarships, financial aid and support programs. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and advocate for every opportunity available to your senior!

💙 AUGUST WAS HUGE! 💙

Our community helped us provide $98,078 in essentials to children in foster care!

We welcomed 178 children through our doors for in-store shopping and that doesn’t even include our Back to School event or outreach programs! 🎒

SO many amazing supporters making it happen!

This is what happens when we work together! 💙
