LYDIA’S PLACE
Provisions of Hope Baskets
Lydia’s Place demonstrates God’s love by providing basic care for young adults who have experienced foster care or housing insecurity while promoting their growth to independence.
DO GOOD TOGETHER
Nonprofit DIY Service Project
IMPACT: Lydia’s Place serves young adults 17-24 who have experienced foster care or homelessness. Each year, 400-700 children “age out” of foster care in Georgia alone. Lydia’s place serves these individuals with basic needs, clothing, mentoring, and housing to aid their path towards independence. Your family or small group can support Lydia’s Place by donating baskets with essential items for a new dorm room or apartment, giving students a strong foundation as they begin their academic journey.
