Community Youth Services

As summer has started to heat up, we are in need of cooling items for youth in our community. We can use bottled water, new reusable plastic water bottles, drink mixes (liquid IV, Crystal Light, etc.) sunscreen, aloe, and box fans.

Items can be dropped off at our building from 9-4 Monday-Friday (711 State Ave.) or purchased from our Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3BC00XD96LV7G?ref_=wl_share

The best price for bottled water is at local stores especially when cases go on sale.

Thank you for your support!

✨Huge shout out to the team at the Dupont Amazon Warehouse for their amazing donation of clothing and belts to restock our closet. I know the young people coming in will be so excited to have some new options to select from. ✨

Special thanks to Spencer and Bryan for bringing these neatly packed boxes to our office. We had to take several trips up the elevator to bring everything inside.

Thank you to the team at Safelite for their spectacular donation of 26 new kids' bikes!

We are so grateful for the time and energy of your team by putting together each bike so it would be ready for its new home.

Thank you also to Foster Love for connecting them with us 💖
