Caroline K. who has tirelessly put in hour after hour of volunteer work in the month of May is the Volunteer of the Month. She spent time making a story board and baking delicious treats, then selling them. She even made her own video to tell the story of one challenge faced by youth in foster care. She wants you to know that many youth in foster care experience multiple placements and may end up moving their belongings in trash bags. Caroline, with some help from her Mom and other youth volunteers raised over $200 to buy large sturdy duffle bags for youth in foster care to hold their belongings. You Can Help Too! Donate Now. Congratulations Caroline!
