Foster Parents Needed

In Ohio, with nearly 15,000 children living in out-of-home placement settings, the need for foster parents is at an all-time high.

If you have ever considered providing a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment as a foster parent, contact NOAS for more information. NOAS will be hosting pre-placement classes beginning on November 7th. For more information, email Sarah at smoreton@noas.com.

Join Us For The Hub Nutrition's first-ever Boo Bash Dash.

Don’t shy away from The Hub Nutrition’s Boo Bash Dash Family Fun Run/Walk at Howland Township Park. This family event will take place on Sunday, October 20th, beginning at 8 AM. Registration is $25 per family or $10 per person. There will be a great time for a great cause—NOAS foster youth and families—with the run or walk, trunk or treat, kids activities, and more. Costumes are welcome!

HOME TEAM CELEBRATION

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, cookie bakers, and staff for making this year’s NOAS’ Home Team Celebration possible. We celebrated Home Team on Saturday, September 28th as we took over the YSU Stadium. We would like to give a special thank you to our emcees, Karli and Doug Datish. With your support, we were able to raise over $40,000 in cash donations at the event which helps NOAS to bring the foster youth we serve one step closer to a family connection. Thank you so much for a very successful evening.

FOXCONN GOLF OUTING

A Huge Success

Foxconn hosted their annual golf outing with team members, partners, and friends on Saturday, September 7 at The Mahoning Country Club in Girard to support NOAS. This outing raised over $36,500 to ensure that the foster youth and families we serve have enduring supports and safe nurturing connections. We are so grateful to Foxconn for their kindness, generosity, and making this day possible.
