The Essentials Bag Program provides youth transitioning in the foster care system with 3-days worth of brand-new, name-brand clothing, shoes, hygiene items, and a backpack or duffle within 48 hours of their placement. 

The Life Skills Program is a 6-week course that partners with community experts to teach life skills, financial literacy, and workforce development to young adults, aged 17-23, during their transition out of foster care.

Each year, Project 48 partners with Child Welfare and our local community to provide 480 customized holiday bags to teens in foster care, reminding them that they are loved, valued, and cherished by their community.
