Many aged out foster youth are used to getting mail addressed to: RECIPIENT so when an OFA Care Package shows up at their door steps, it’s an affirmation that they’re not alone in this big world. It may seem like a small gesture to you and me but to a teenager on their own and no family to look to, it means the world. It means someone cares about them.

Knitters are busy making scarves for the next batch of OFA care packages and now we are reaching out to you for even more help. The RED SCARF FUND FOR FOSTER YOUTH provides for the emergency needs of our students: housing, medical bills, transportation and more. The scarf gives them comfort, The Red Scarf Fund for Foster Youth provides for their emergency needs.

Will you help us help foster youth? Donate now to the Red Scarf Fund for Foster Youth. 100% of your donations go directly to paying their emergency needs.
