The Eagle Optimist Club is currently preparing a "Welcome Basket" donation to PATH Idaho. PATH is a private non-profit organization that has provided treatment foster care and child and family services since 1972. During the 2010-2011 Christmas Season Eagle Optimists donated a Christmas tree and dinner to a foster family. This year PATH had a different need. They have a young lady that is 18 years old and preparing to leave foster care and move out on her own. They requested a "Welcome Basket" To help with her transition into independent living, PATH has developed a project that seeks “sponsors” to fill laundry baskets with basic household items a young person needs as they move out on their own and are welcomed to adulthood. We are planning on presenting the donation at our February 28th luncheon meeting.
As Chairman of the Board for PATH Idaho, I want to thank the Eagle Optimist Club for your good work. PATH really appreciates the good you do for foster children and families!
