‘Didn’t have a pillow’: the program kitting out foster students starting college
The article discusses a program called "Dec My Dorm" that provides essential items to foster students starting college. Many first-year students, like Ar'reiona Green, were unaware of the basic necessities they would need for their dorm rooms, such as a fan, lamp, or even a pillow. Having grown up in the foster system, Ar'reiona didn't have the same knowledge and resources as other students. The program aims to address this gap by distributing sheet sets, pillows, shower caddies, and other essentials at an annual summer event, helping foster students feel more prepared for the transition to college life.
