URGENT! 🚨 50% of youth aging out of foster care will face homelessness within 18 months. 🚨 This is a staggering reality — but it doesn’t have to be the outcome. Aging out should never mean being left without a safety net. “I ended up back in the foster care system and ended up going from home to home. I basically lived out of a backpack because I was homeless. After a while you just get used to it. You finally lose hope.” -Tyler, youth in Dare to Dream® program ✨ The Solution? With mentorship and unwavering support, youth are far more likely to secure stable housing, continue their education, and build a strong, independent future. “To have somebody like Mr. Whitman means a lot. Something that nobody really gets in the system. It doesn’t come along. And to actually have it means something.” -Tyler, youth in Dare to Dream® program 90% of Dare to Dream® mentors continue supporting their mentees even after the program ends, providing the stability and guidance every young person not only deserves but needs. 👉 You can be the difference.

It’s our lovely Malia’s BIRTHDAY! 🎂 Malia, along with our Executive Director, are the only two who have been with Salem Angels since the start, and what a legacy she has made ❤️ She has created community between resource (foster) families and their Love Box families and between the resource families themselves!
