Launch Boxes
Boxes of supplies for young adults aging out of foster care, to help launch them into independence
Here’s the Scoop
Each year, nearly 1,000 youth in the state of Oregon age out of the foster care system. Launch Boxes provide a few basic necessities as these young adults transition out on their own for the first time.
A Launch Box is a lidded, plastic bin filled with basic supplies—such as towels, toiletries, and utensils—that will help young adults transition out of foster care to independent living. Specifically designed for young men and women (18 to 21 years old) without a traditional safety net, Launch Boxes are given to the young adult by a ODHS worker as a tangible and practical gift from the community.
If you have a Launch Box to donate, please contact us at info@everychildpdx.org to schedule a dropoff. Please do not drop your Launch Box off at our offices. We work remotely and are often out in the community. Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you for helping youth during a challenging transition time through this Launch Box
