That ended with a big financial boost for a start-up non-profit this week.
When Joni Cannon, founder of Cap the Gap of Carter County, saw a Johnson City Press article about a new non-profit that will serve kids at risk of homelessness or those exiting the foster care system, a light bulb turned on in her head.
The demise of Cap the Gap, which was hit hard by COVID, became a windfall for Huschka House, an organization that provides housing for kids who have nowhere to go when they age out of foster care.
Cannon and the organizationâs board voted to disperse its remaining funds after dissolving to two other non-profits.
