The latest "Midwest Mission Non-profit podcast" features Marscia Anderson, Executive Director of Solid Rock Youth Transitional Services. She did an amazing job! She talked about the importance of Solid Rock (Did you know that 40% of foster kids become homeless within 18 months after they age out of the foster system?) and what it was like to set up a 501C3.
