ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) – With colder temperatures impacting our region, StepStone Family & Youth Services of Virginia is hosting its annual winter blanket drive.
“Wrapped in Love” winter blanket drive will be accepting donations from January 27 to February 14 at locations across the state to bring warmth and comfort for youth in need.
“At StepStone Family & Youth Services, our mission is to help Virginia’s foster youth feel safe and loved, while connecting them to nurturing families,” said Sandra Bermudez, manager of foster parent recruitment at StepStone Family & Youth Services. “A simple blanket can give our foster children and teens the sense of belonging and comfort they need as they navigate the foster care system. We invite our community to wrap them in love this winter season and join us in donating blankets to the foster youth we serve.”
StepStone Family & Youth Services works to connect children in need with foster families so they can provide comforting and nurturing homes.
For over 45 years, the organization has been serving Virginia by providing foster care services, counseling, respite care, training for foster parents and youth residential services.
