Overview

Mission

To help foster children and other children in need in Seneca County. We fulfill requests for food, clothing, bedding, shelter, etc. so children can be warm, fed and able to focus on growing and their education. We believe no child should be left behind and do what it takes to work with social workers and teachers to fulfill these needs. The committee is comprised of unpaid volunteers so all money received goes back to the community. Committee members also use their personal funds to fulfill requests if needed.

What it reported doing in 2025

Between the Christmas project, foster allowances, and requests from social workers and teachers we help around 2,100 children each year. We also provide 6 scholarships to high school children in need that want to further their education whether that be a technical trade school or traditional college program. We also help fund school trips for the children that can't afford to go and attire for school proms so they don't miss out on once in a lifetime opportunities. We receive many heartwarming thank you cards from these children and many come back to thank us after they have grown for all we did to help support them and give them the opportunity to succeed. We do a lot of great things in our community and we look forward to continuing to help those children in need for many years to come!
