On Thursday, 2/13, the youth we support were treated to a Galentine's Day dinner. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. The girls got dressed up and enjoyed a full four course meal; appetizer, salad, entrée and dessert! Thank you to the staff and owners for such a special night!

The holidays should be an opportunity to spend time with those we are closest to. For many of the foster teens living in group homes, the people they plan to spend their holidays with are the staff at the group home and/or those in the same situation.
