FILLING A GAP: Facility Assists Women Aging Out Of Foster Care
Posted: December 28, 2011 at 5:28 a.m.
Mindy Cole, a volunteer, from right, helps Evelyn Collins and Kendra Owens, both residents at Saving Grace in Rogers, build gingerbread houses on Dec. 4. The house-building activity is part of Saving Grace’s Weekend Warrior program that has volunteers work with the residents on a project or craft during the weekend.
Krista enters the kitchen early in the evening, blond hair a little in her face, shoulders down and inward, as though she is trying to disappear. The 20-year-old is less than 5 feet tall and weighs no more than 100 pounds.
