Throwing Starfish Foundation

Throwing Starfish Foundation is a dynamic and growing community benefit organization dedicated to helping the most vulnerable in our community. HOW WE HELP CHILDREN The Throwing Starfish Foundation strives to take on projects that positively affect all kids, but our focus is on foster kids and at-risk youth. To that end we are constantly looking for ways to better the lives of overlooked children in our community. Projects include: Assembling duffle bags of comfort items for children entering foster care, suitcases full of apartment necessities for kids aging out of foster care, food/supply donations to women and children’s shelters, as well as scholarships and job training opportunities for at-risk youth. HOW WE HELP THE VULNERABLE We are constantly looking for ways to help the less fortunate in our community. We want to make a tangible difference for those we assist and are always seeking out projects that allow us to do this. Projects include: Extensive involvement in assisting survivors of the Butte County Camp Fire, assembling Cold Weather Kits for homeless community, and providing meals for the less fortunate. HOW WE HELP ANIMALS Our work with animals focuses on the health and safety of animals in our community. Projects include: Offsetting medical costs for low income pet owners, food and supply donations to local animal shelters, and covering adoption/foster/care fees for rescue animals of all sizes.
