Bridging the G.A.P. Donate Today

Bridging the G.A.P. During COVID-19

Last month, we launched our new Signature Project, Bridging the G.A.P. (Guide. Advocate. Provide.) that supports youth aging out of foster care. Through Project Provide, The Junior League of Columbus will provide 105 youth with household necessities to start their new life in their very own studio apartment.

Now more than ever these youth need our support. We know times are tough, but if you are able to support our new Signature Project, Bridging the G.A.P. (Guide. Advocate. Provide.), you can make a monetary donation. All monetary donations will support a bulk purchase of the household necessities for our Carol Stewart Village youth.

Here’s a look at how your monetary donation can help.

  • A donation of $16 = 1 Bathroom Essentials Kit
  • A donation of $80 = 5 Bathroom Essentials Kits
  • A donation of $160 = 10 Bathroom Essentials Kits
