We are delighted to report that we have volunteer matches for all of the twenty-one young adults who signed up to participate in the Independent Living for Young Adults (ILYA) Student Care Package for this academic year! The ILYA Student Care Package project matches students who have aged out of foster care and are pursuing post-secondary education with caring volunteers willing to send them packages of treats four times over the course of the year. Receiving these packages, and the kindness they represent, can make a world of difference to these young people, who often find themselves very alone and with minimal resources. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to help – your generosity is very much appreciated!
Volunteers should have received an email from Cathy Butler providing them with the name, contact information and a bit of background for their student. If you volunteered, and did not receive an email, please contact Cathy by text to 484-680-6868 or email to kennettbutlers@gmail.com .
