Lone Star College-Montgomery student workers Omar Zavala, Dylan Strauser, and DJ Modisette help fill 25 goody bags with college spirit items and information for 16- to 19-year-old foster children. The bags will be donated to Love Fosters Hope, an organization that raises money each year to host summer camps for foster kids, as well as to several existing LSC-Montgomery foster students and their foster siblings.

The project, a collaboration between the college’s Professional and Support Staff Association (PSSA) and the office of student life, aims to encourage the older students in foster care to consider LSC-Montgomery for workforce certificates programs, as well as academic degrees.
