In 2009, the location of the statewide Thanksgiving dinner was changed from Dayton to Columbus, in order to make it possible for more foster care youth and alumni throughout the state to attend.
The event took place:
Sunday, November 22, 2009
From 2:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Congregation Agudas Achim
2767 E. Broad Street
Columbus OH 43209

We appreciated that Ohio First Lady Frances Strickland took out of her busy schedule to participate in this statewide gathering of current and former foster youth. Our 2009 Thanksgiving Together was featured in the Columbus Dispatch and broadcast on 10-TV and Fox News.
