COUNTRY FOR NOAS KIDS MUSIC FESTIVAL
is a real hit
| Over 500 people attended our second country music festival on Saturday, May 18, featuring Chris Higbee, Tyler Conti, Nestor AnDress, Hampshyre, Alex Seier, and valley native emcee Karli Datish. Katharine Rein also brought the crowd to tears when she sang her original song about her adoptive parents, "Parents," written for them. Singing, dancing, fiddling, eating, drinking, and fun were plentiful. NOAS would like to thank all the sponsors, donors, performers, volunteers, staff, and everyone who contributed to making this event a success. Funds raised from the event benefit foster youth and families supported by NOAS. | |

Bridges is a voluntary program for young adults aged 18, 19, and 20 who have aged out of foster care. They are enrolled in school, working, in an employment program, or have a medical condition that prevents them from going to school or working. The program provides guidance and support as they transition into adulthood.
There is an urgent need for cleaning and hygiene products among the former foster youth in the Bridges program. Your donation helps these youth use their income for essentials such as food, rent, and utilities. Shop online and have your order sent to NOAS, or you can drop off your contribution at our office. Your support is greatly appreciated.
