The Charities
Only one thing could make an unforgettable night even more Legendary: Helping Others! There is something special about making a difference in the life of someone else! Every day Isaiah117 and Avoca are doing this and now you can help them help others while also having a once-in-a-lifetime night with Legends!
Isaiah 117 House is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe, loving home for children who have been removed from their homes and are awaiting foster placement. It was inspired by the Bible verse Isaiah 1:17 (“defend the cause of the fatherless”) and aims to reduce the trauma for these children by offering them a comfortable place to stay, along with new clothes, meals, and toys. This also allows child welfare staff to focus on their paperwork and find a suitable long-term placement
Our Purpose
When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.
The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:
- reduce trauma for children awaiting placement
- lighten the load for child welfare services
- ease the transition for foster families
