With cold temperatures arriving and winter in full swing, StepStone Family & Youth Services of Kentucky 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 blankets from January 27, 2025 through February 14, 2025, at locations across the state.
“At StepStone Family & Youth Services, our mission is to help Kentucky children and teens feel safe, protected, and worthy of love” said Joe Tanner, StepStone Family & Youth Services Executive Director. “That’s why we’re once again partnering with our communities to collect blankets for vulnerable youth. Donating a blanket is one simple way anyone can provide comfort and protection to youth in foster care. We invite everyone to participate in the drive and to reach out to your local StepStone to learn about other ways to impact 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 Kentucky for more than 30 years and provides foster care services, respite care, training and support for foster parents, and behavioral health services. StepStone is always looking for new foster families willing to open their hearts and homes to help children who need safe, caring living environments.
StepStone Family & Youth Services has offices across Kentucky and is organizing blanket drives in all the communities it serves this winter.
