This month I'm highlighting the Orphan Foundation of America. Once orphans graduate from high school, it's often forgotten that they still need family and love. OFA works to send care packages to orphans in college and trade school.The "Red Scarf" portion of this organization allows you to give in a more creative way. Inside those care packages are hand-knit red scarves. Taking the time to knit a scarf is a great way to let these kids know someone cares enough to take the time out for them.
If you're not handy with the sticks, there are many other ways to donate time and/or resources. Maybe you could write a grant, or sponsor a scholarship, or become a virtual mentor. There are also opportunities to package and donate complete care packages as a community, church, or neighborhood.
