Welcome Basket
How Can you help?
PATH continuously seeks groups or individuals to help by sponsoring a “Welcome Basket” for a foster youth moving into independent living.
What does it mean to sponsor a youth’s “Welcome Basket”?
At any given time a youth will turn 18 and no longer be eligible for foster care services. A large number of these youth leave care in the spring and the summer months. To help with their transition into independent living, PATH has developed a project that seeks “sponsors” to fill laundry baskets with basic household items a young person needs as they move out on their own and are welcomed to adulthood. We are looking for organizations, churches, civic groups, corporations or individuals in our communities to fill a laundry basket.
