Eileen and Callie's Place is dedicated to empowering women aging out of foster care in Washington through meaningful celebrations and mentorship. The organization hosts 'Celebrate 18' parties, where young women receive pampering from hairdressers and makeup artists, along with essential items in new duffel bags. Founder Dr. Natalie Ellington highlights the transformative impact of these events, which aim to provide guidance and emotional support. Many participants have faced significant hardships, including frequent moves between homes and a lack of stability.

The program not only celebrates their milestones but also connects them with mentors who can help them navigate adulthood. Recently, the organization celebrated a decade of service, emphasizing the need for community support. Ellington points out the shocking reality of how young women in foster care are often treated when they age out of the system. By fostering connections and providing necessary resources, Eileen and Callie's Place truly embodies the spirit of caring for marginalized populations.
