Update from Starting Strong

Contact Ellen at eclark@granpres.org if you are interested or want to know more about being involved.

There are more ways we can have hands-on experiences helping young adults aging out of Foster Care. Please see the opportunities below.

Mechanics - Starting Strong wants to provide safe, reliable cars for young adults to purchase. They need people who like to work on cars to evaluate cars donated to the organization, make recommendations for repair, and if possible, make the repairs. The time requirement would be once or twice a year- if that. It all depends on when a car is donated. If you or someone you know has these gifts, let Ellen know.

Care Packages - Remember how good it was to receive care packages from loved ones? College students have aged out of their foster homes and may never have this uplifting experience. Unless YOU are interested in making those experiences possible. Right now, Starting Strong has a young female adult attending OSU Main Campus. They are looking for someone to send occasional care packages. Let us know if you are interested or even slightly curious. 

Gift Cards for Care Packages - Everyone likes to have food delivered to their door or eat out from time to time, right? So do college students who are pulling "all-nighters" before an exam or just need a break.  Consider donating DoorDash or restaurant gift cards to put in the care packages mentioned above. This will surely make someone's day better and studying more tolerable.
