With cold temperatures arriving and winter in full swing, StepStone Family & Youth Services of Indiana is hosting its annual “Wrapped in Love” winter blanket drive to provide warmth and comfort to foster youth in need. StepStone will be accepting donations of new and gently used blankets from January 27, 2025 through February 14, 2025, at locations across the state.
“At StepStone Family & Youth Services, our mission is to help our foster youth feel safe and loved, while connecting them to nurturing, compassionate families,” said Chris Eichman, StepStone Family & Youth Services Executive Director. “We’re excited to host our annual blanket drive again to give our foster children and teens a comforting belonging that they can keep with them on their foster care journey. We invite our community to join us in donating blankets this winter season to make a warm impact on the lives of the youth we serve.”
StepStone Family & Youth Services helps connect children in need with foster families who can provide comforting, nurturing homes. The organization has been serving Indiana for more than 10 years and provides foster care services, counseling, respite care, training for foster parents and youth residential services. StepStone is always looking for new foster families to help children in Indiana communities who need safe, caring living environments.
StepStone Family & Youth Services has operations in nine states and is organizing blanket drives at all its locations this winter.
