(Yahoo Life) The holidays will be a little brighter for a lot of teens this season. For the second year in a row, every teenager in foster care in the state of Ohio will receive two $25 gift cards, thanks to an outreach spearheaded by one local church.
There are 4,361 foster teens in the state of Ohio, and each will receive gift cards to places like Amazon, Chick-fil-A, Target and more — accompanied by a holiday card with a thoughtful handwritten message.
The initiative started in 2019 with a simple question from One Church in Gahanna, Ohio: How can we help? Wanting to give back to kids in their own community, One Church met with Franklin County Children Services.
