May was Foster Awareness Month. At The LOW, we want every month, every day, to be a mission for Foster Awareness. We have teamed up with our favorite organization, Place of Hope to raise support and donations for their children, families, youth aging out of the foster system, and the Stuart expansion.
Each year over 100 youth aging out of foster care locally find themselves homeless or with nowhere to go. Founding CEO of Place of Hope says, "...as a community, we can do better." Many youth aging out of foster care need a bridge into adulthood, and they way the system is set up, that is not happening. Place of Hope's campuses in Boca and Lake Park provides a program specifically tailored to offer affordable transitional, independent living with accountability and life skills included. The sister entity, Villages of Hope, has been operating since 2006 and has grown exponentially to serve those who need it, our aging out foster youth, youth fallen through the cracks of the system and single mothers with children. With a waiting list of those in need, Place of Hope continues to press forward on the Boca Raton campus and has plans for the newly inherited Stuart campus.

Being a mom comes with many joys, but it also has its challenges. There is a community of single moms that are struggling to provide for their families, some even homeless.
The LOW wants to SHINE BRIGHT on these moms and help with resources such as gas and groceries. We will be collecting gas and grocery gift cards this spring and donating them to the Hearts for MOMs organization.
We SHINE BRIGHTER TOGETHER!

The LOW wants to build a home for the young adults that are aging out of the foster system. At 18 years old, if the youth has not been placed with a family or in a program, they are considered independent and sent to live on their own. In the first 48 hours, 55% of these individuals become homeless, trafficked, addicted to drugs…grim st
The LOW wants to build a home for the young adults that are aging out of the foster system. At 18 years old, if the youth has not been placed with a family or in a program, they are considered independent and sent to live on their own. In the first 48 hours, 55% of these individuals become homeless, trafficked, addicted to drugs…grim statistics. But let’s focus on the solution. Through a one year program, we can give the opportunity to have a home, training in a vocational skill, and a promise of a career after the program. More importantly, we can surround these individuals with love, leadership, and guidance, setting the foundation for their next chapter of independence.
We can’t change their past, but we sure can change their future. Let us invest in their next chapter.
The LOW has teamed up with several charitable organizations in the area. Through actively volunteering with Place of Hope, The Children’s Home Society, CityHouse, and The Burrito Project, we are always on the mission to help those in need with bringing awareness to the cause, collecting donations, and bringing light to dark places.
The LOW wants to help those in need to experience God's incredible love and light, for all generations! We've been working with some incredible organizations to help single homeless mothers and their children, youth aging out of the foster system, and the homeless in Lake Worth.
