The foundation raised a total of $1,273,301 for 61 local non-profits.
We appreciate you and you help us make a difference by making permanent connections for children and young adults in foster care. Because of your kindness and support we are able to continue working with families at NO COST to them.

WANDA'S BIRTHDAY BAG PROGRAM NEEDS YOUR HELP |
Wanda Marland is the founder of Comfort & Hope. She started Comfort & Hope in 2005, giving blankets to individuals going through difficult situations. It was expanded 5 years ago to include birthday bags and blankets for foster youth in the Mahoning Valley, including NOAS foster youth and young adults.
“When these kids get these gifts, they just light up. They truly light up. It makes them know that they matter, that people care.”
As the number of children and young adults we serve on our NOAS caseloads continues to grow, so does the number of birthdays each month. In order for Wanda’s Birthday Bag Program to continue to light up kid's birthdays, be successful, and keep up with increased kids coming into foster care, she needs your help.
Please consider making a cash donation for supplies or $25 gift cards to Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, or Target.
Donations can be dropped off or mailed to NOAS at 5000 E. Market Street, Warren, OH 44484. If you have any questions please contact Kathy Evans at kevans@noas.com.
