Giving Chances

This program is closely related to the OVC Resource Center. Program Participants may submit special requests to be approved and funded by this program. Often this includes specialty items or activities. Examples we have funded include: a baking and cake decorating kit, a specific Halloween costume, a birthday gift we don't have at the Resource Center, registration fees and equipment for martial arts lessons, certain technology needed to meet special needs of the youth in foster care, etc.
PROGRAM EVENTS
Each year, we coordinate and host two separate program giveaway events for foster youth and resource families.

Back To School Event
Our Back to School Giveaway event is usually held in late July. Here, the youth themselves can CHOOSE their new backpack, lunch bag, water bottle, new pair of shoes, and general school supplies. The joy, pride, and dignity seen in these youth while getting their items is priceless. Last year we began collaborating with Wayfinder Family Services (Kinship/Relative Families) to streamline our event and make the experience more efficient.

Holiday Gift Event
Our Holiday Gift Event is held at the beginning of December each year. Here, caregivers usually pick out 3 gifts and 2 stocking stuffers for each youth of foster care in their home. We offer holiday decorations to take, and gift wrapping to finish the experience.
