Summit Academy students again donated their time to The Foster Love Project. The Foster Love Project collects donations of essential supplies and comfort items to provide to children when they are placed at a foster home. Each duffel bag or backpack includes new pajamas, a blanket, stuffed animal, book, toothbrush, toothpaste, bath soap and a wash puff.

Our young men take great pride and gratification in contributing to the worthy cause of making foster placement just a little more comfortable for kids across our region.
