Program Services

An Age Out Program is designed to support foster youth transitioning out of the foster care system, typically at age 18 or 21, depending on state regulations. These programs aim to equip young adults with the skills, resources, and support they need to navigate adulthood successfully. Here's an outline for such a program:

Program Purpose

• Provide foster youth with tools for independent living.
• Address challenges like housing, education, employment, and emotional well-being.
• Build a support network to reduce risks of homelessness, unemployment, or other vulnerabilities.

The Food Distribution Program will ensure individuals and families in need have access to nutritious meals. These programs can operate through partnerships with local food banks, community centers, and nonprofit organizations. 

 Program Purpose

• Reduce food insecurity by providing consistent access to healthy meals.
• Support vulnerable populations, including low-income families, seniors, and foster youth.
• Promote community engagement through volunteerism and partnerships.

Target Audience

• Families and individuals facing food insecurity.
• Homeless communities, foster care programs, and elderly individuals.
• Schools, shelters, and faith-based organizations needing food assistance.

Domestic Violence Awareness means promoting understanding, education, and action to prevent and address domestic violence. It involves raising public consciousness about the signs, impact, and prevalence of abuse in order to empower victims, challenge harmful behaviors, and build a supportive community.

Our Awareness efforts will include:

• Educating: Providing information about the types of domestic violence (physical, emotional, financial, etc.) and available resources.
• Support: Offering help to survivors through shelters, counseling, hotlines, and legal assistance.
• Advocacy: Pushing for stronger laws, better enforcement, and systemic changes to protect victims.
• Prevention: Addressing root causes, promoting healthy relationships, and teaching conflict resolution.

October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, symbolized by the color purple, to honor survivors, remember victims, and inspire collective action.
