As the mother of an adopted child, I often think of what my daughter's life would be like had we not found her. This organization makes it their MISSION to help children who are on the verge of "aging out" of the foster care system by serving as a "working classroom" ... providing work/life skills and ENCOURAGEMENT to these vulnerable youth. Otherwise...who knows where they might end up in life. I feel fantastic about ordering my bakery goodies from Cakes for Cause/Moxie Bakery & Café. Such a wonderful organization.
