Project Forty Eight
Supporting local youth impacted by foster care.

Project 48 is a nonprofit that supports youth impacted by foster care by providing essential resources, personalized duffel bags and life skills.

What We Do

Project 48 is a nonprofit that supports youth impacted by foster care by providing essential resources and personalized duffel bags filled with comfort and necessity items within the first 48 hours of their transition. Additionally, we have a six-week life skills program to act as a bridge for young adults between the ages of 17 - 23 as they transition out of foster care into independence. Finally, we need all hands on deck for our yearly holiday drive in the winter!
