Opportunity:  Safety Net Change Parties

Description:  The mission of Safety Net is to assist foster youth with immediate emergency financial aid and necessary support to continue their education, enhance their job skills and transition to self-sufficiency and independence.

Hosting a "change party" will positively affect the lives of hundreds of Foster Teens in our community. And hosting one is easy:

Invite a group of your friends that may be interested in hosting their own party. Plan a simple, informal menu and in your invitation, let your guests know the "restaurant" pricing of your meal. Example "We are serving a burger better than the Carl's Junior Six Dollar Burger with all of the sides, baked beans, corn on the cob and apple pie so a donation accordingly would be most appreciated."

This sort of coaching will clarify your expectations for your guests and it should be easy to have a successful party.

Have a change jar with instructions ready for each of your guests to take home for use in hosting their own party. Having a change party is a fun way to spend an evening with friends while creating a "safety net" for these vulnerable children. Lets start cooking to make a change for these kids.
