Many children are placed in nearly impossible situations during their youth, and the outcome of those situations can leave the children out on the street without a place to live. If you feel compelled to <\/span><b>help homeless kids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but are not in a position to serve as a resource parent, making a financial donation is a great option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Consider Giving To The Solutions for Youth Fund<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put your dollars directly to work to <\/span><b>help homeless kids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, please consider the Solutions for Youth Fund. We created this fund specifically to aid homeless children in our area. The fund operates by working through high school counselors while keeping the identity of the child anonymous. Counselors are able to identify whatever needs the child may have, and the fund\u2019s resources are then used to purchase those items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Needed Boost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving to the Solutions for Youth Fund is a great way to <\/span><b>help homeless kids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who are struggling here in our region. Something that might seem relatively small from the outside \u2013 such as the ability to pay for a social or athletic opportunity \u2013 can mean a huge difference to a child in this situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being able to participate in the same activities as their peers can be a boost to self-esteem, opening social life and future opportunities that may have been closed off otherwise. As we do not currently have physical space available to store donated items, the best way to contribute to this important cause is to make a financial donation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent, contact <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenfirstffa.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children First Foster Family Agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenfirstffa.com\/apply-here\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apply to become a resource parent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenfirstffa.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children First FFA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a private, non-profit organization in Northern California that is dedicated to helping change lives by providing a safe place for children to heal in a culture of love, acceptance, and consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help homeless kids | You Don\u2019t Have to Be a Foster Parent to Help Homeless Kids The importance of helping [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6751,9867],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-children-first-ffa","category-help-homeless-kids"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Help homeless kids | You Don\u2019t Have to Be a Foster Parent to Help Homeless Kids<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Help homeless kids | You Don\u2019t Have to Be a Foster Parent to Help Homeless Kids | Children First FFA is a private, non-profit organization in N.
