For young people in and from foster care, holidays can be reminder of lost connections. They miss the comfort of having a place to feel welcome, year after year.
For this reason, since 2007, Thanksgiving has been a time for Ohio foster care youth (ages 14+), former foster youth (ages 18+) and allies/adult supporters to gather together.
We invite you to come and share an Early Thanksgiving with us — to share your voice, your insights, your talents, your abilities… We are looking forward to spending time with you!
The 2025 Northeast Ohio Thanksgiving is made possible by Hope Bridge.
This event will take place in the Akron/Canton area:
Saturday, November 15, 2025
From 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
The Compassion Center
1012 Sunnyside St. SW, Hartville, Ohio 44632
