Support Foster Families at Vista Maria's Dolly Drive Event!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Vista Maria

Our Dolly Drive fundraiser is a fun evening outside at the Detroit Shipping Company. Guests will enjoy drinks, yard games, a photo booth, wine pull, short informational program, and heavy hors d’oeuvres provided by celebrity chef, Maxcel Hardy! All proceeds benefit the extraordinary programs at Vista Maria including our growing Foster Care program. Each guest is encouraged to bring a toy, doll, action figure, or game for a child on our holiday wish list.

This event relies heavily on volunteers to ensure it is successful! This is a great way to support Vista Maria and our foster families, while helping to put on a fantastic event. I hope you can join us and help out!

Mission Statement

Vista Maria is a place for girls, youth and their families to realize a life beyond trauma and ignite a life of possibility. We are fearless in our commitment to keep them safe and to make them strong and our courageous compassion finds new ways to bring wholeness and possibility to those who need it most.

Description

We are Vista Maria.

We are driven by courage, love and vision to help others realize a life beyond trauma and ignite a life of possibility. Our courageous action is driven by our boundless compassion for our young people and their families. Every day, Vista Maria brings strength and caring enough for everyone, so that one day each person can do the same for themselves and others.

We know that it takes a Fearless Heart to overcome the challenges of abuse and trauma and move forward. An unwavering courage, limitless love and positive vision that was embodied in 1883 by our founder, Sister Mary Euphrasia and carried on today by each one of us. What began as a home for girls and women in need has evolved to encompass mental health services, education and after school care, foster care, adoption, independent living, secure care for the survivors of human trafficking, and advocacy for the welfare of children.

We’re visionary in our approach and unrelenting in our quest to provide the best care and support for vulnerable children and families. Our boundless belief in every person’s worth propels us to action, pursuing new ways to serve our community.

We invite anyone with courage, love and vision to join us and ignite a life of possibility.
