💛 Donor Impact Update

We were excited to be interviewed by KOCO yesterday about Oklahoma’s new foster care bill, a huge step forward for young adults aging out of care. It’s encouraging progress for our state and for the youth we serve.

But this new law does not replace the work we will do at Caring Collective.

Your support is still critical.
Your giving provides safe housing, life‑skills training, and the wraparound care these young men rely on every single day.

The bill opens the door…your generosity helps them walk through it. 💛

For many of Oklahoma's foster youth, support ends when they turn 18. A new law would extend that help until they turn 21.

💛 HELP US PAINT HOPE! 💛

We’re getting the dorms ready for our August 1 launch, and we need a little help from our amazing community!

We’re looking for paint + painting supplies to help us create a warm, welcoming space for the young men we’ll be serving.

If you or a local vendor would like to support Caring Collective, we would be so grateful! All donations are tax‑deductible, and we will gladly provide the necessary paperwork.

Every gallon, every brush, every bit of support helps us build a fresh start. 💛✨

Had a great initial meeting with Kelley, Director of Caring Collective, the group working to provide transition housing and mentoring for aged out foster children at the former St Gregory's college. We will, of course, provide any primary medical care they might need, for free, or help any way we can.
We look forward to meeting with the whole group to explore what they might need going forward. What a great mission!
Follow Engage and follow them at Caring Collective to keep up with our journey to change lives!

St. Gregory’s Abbey is transforming its empty dorms into housing for young adults aged out of foster care or lacking support systems, with services to help them achieve independence.

Catch us on KOCO 5 tonight!
Starting the day with this kind of excitement reminds us just how far Caring Collective has come and how much impact is ahead.

When a community chooses to believe in its young people, everything changes. These walls will soon hold dreams, healing, and new beginnings. 💛

Empty student housing at the former St. Gregory's University will become transitional homes for young adults aging out of foster care. See link below ⬇️
