WHY OPERATION FRESH START?​​ 

More than 23,000 children age out of the U.S. foster care system every year.
After reaching the age of 18
, 20% of the children who were in foster care
​will become instantly homeless. 
​We're changing that - starting in our own
​backyard in New London County, Connecticut.  

At Operation Fresh Start Inc. we are helping foster children and adults who
have aged out of the foster care system get a fresh start. By providing household
items to set up apartments for the adults, backpacks full of items for the children,
and a helping hand when needed, Operation Fresh Start Inc. serves our
neighbors in Southeastern Connecticut.
