ABOUT THE ELA PROJECT

The ELA Project began in 2019 by 9 year old Ella Jones. Ella had volunteered for a an Easter event for kids in foster care and fell in love with a few of these special kids and the overall experience.
Since then, Ella has gathered her community at school, family and friends to help support the 4 events The ELA Project holds each year.
Encouraging Love in Adversity for foster youth is the sole mission of the ELA Project. Being in foster care can often be a lonely and difficult reality. Friendship and connection between peers has the ability to create comfort, support and inspiring experiences for foster and non-foster children through togetherness.

Annual Easter Party

Every year, The ELA Project holds an Easter party for 150 kids complete with thousands of hidden candy-filled eggs and an appearance by the Easter Bunny. Lunch and desserts are served and there are games and activities for all of the children to enjoy together.

Annual Thanksgiving Feast

Every year, The ELA Project provides a Thanksgiving Feast for around 40 young adults who have recently aged-out if the foster care system and are supported by Genesis Hopeful Haven. These young adults request their favorite items from their culture or traditional Thanksgiving items to enjoy together on Thanksgiving.
