Scholar house 3 initiative
“I haven’t gone to bed hungry in five weeks… the longest time of my life. Thank you.”
Columbus Scholar House 3 is dedicated to providing affordable housing to former foster youth who are pursuing higher education. The Mirth Project is honored to be in a position to play a small role in ensuring their success. We do so by applying your generous donations to fulfilling basic needs, such as stocking their community kitchen pantry, providing needed essentials like computers and other tech supplies as well as special projects like creating a house library and helping them go after their goals and achieving them.
Join us today as a donor and your dollars will have a direct impact on the life of an ambitious college student ready to transform their life.
