Our annual Christmas fundraising letters have gone out in the mail (thanks to our very helpful and amazing volunteers). One Step at a Time is completely operational on the kindness and generous donations made by our community. Every member of our team is a volunteer and we could not have and continue to provide safe transitional housing for young adults impacted by the child welfare system without every single one of our donors and volunteers! Last year we raised over $10,000 which assists in the maintenance of the home and providing supplies to our residents.
