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.
