Eric Westrick from StepStone Family & Youth Services joins Melissa Montana on Conversations to chat about their yearly Wrapped In Love blanket drive, where you can help provide love and comfort to underprivileged foster youth. With cold temperatures arriving and winter in full swing, StepStone will be accepting donations of new and gently used blankets at locations across the state between JANUARY 31 — FEBRUARY 14.
Star 88.3 is a drop off location! Drop off your new blankets with us at 8 Martin Luther Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46825 during our business hours of 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday.
“Our children and youth need a safe place they can call home. That’s why at StepStone Family & Youth Services, we’re proud to connect vulnerable children and teens to nurturing families,” said Christopher Eichman, StepStone Family & Youth Services Executive Director. “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 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, and 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 has operations in nine states and is organizing blanket drives at all its locations this winter.
