This Christmas the Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative (MYOI) is seeking help in providing gifts for those who have exited or aged out of the foster care system in St. Clair and Sanilac Counties.
The annual Christmas gift collection will help the 29 individuals that are still in need of donors this year. These individuals no longer have open foster care cases, so they are ineligible for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Christmas Program for foster children.
The goal is to provide each of the youth $100 in gifts or gift cards as well as donations for quarters that will be used for their annual MYOI Holiday Party on December 16th, at Sperry’s Arcade House.
If you would like to help make someone’s Christmas a bit more special, you can email Sunshine Ratliff for more information at: ratliffs2@michigan.gov.
