PATH youth moving toward independence will have more opportunity than ever to obtain an apartment, get employment, or go to college.”

She continued, expressing her gratitude to all who helped make the event a success, saying, “The generosity of RDO, sponsors, volunteers, and community members who attended Caters Taters and purchased raffle tickets give youth coming out of foster care the ‘hand up’ that all young people need and deserve! We are grateful for this tremendous gift this holiday season.”
