Foster Hope Holiday Resource Fair

YNN is excited to take part in the 2nd Annual Foster Hope Holiday Fest at COSI in Columbus on Sunday, December 7, 2025. Since Christmas 2019, One Church has been on a mission to brighten the holiday season for Ohio’s foster teens—providing nearly $1.3 million in gift cards through the

Building on that momentum, the Foster Hope Holiday Fest is expanding this impact even further. Hosted at the #1 science museum in the country, this unique event combines holiday celebration with real-world empowerment.

Teens will engage with hands-on activities, access mental wellness resources, explore career pathways, enjoy free food and music, and take home exciting giveaways—all alongside a trusted adult. It’s more than a festive night; it’s a catalyst for hope and a step toward a brighter future. Every teen will receive a $25 retail gift card, and every trusted adult will receive a $25 gas gift card as a thank you for being part of their journey.

During the Resource Fair, YNN will be tabling and sharing information about our programs and services. This is a meaningful opportunity to connect directly with young people and their supporters, expand awareness of resources, and strengthen networks across Ohio. We can't wait to see you there!
