Share hope and joy with youth experiencing homelessness this holiday season!
The holidays can be difficult for the young people we support. Gifts received during the holidays allow youth to celebrate and feel valued while on their journey to independence and a bright future. It means the world to young people to receive gifts that best suit them and their children provided by caring community members.
Get Started
Option One: Youth Wish List Gifting — minimum $100 per youth/child
- Let us know how many youth/children you will support by November 25, 2024 using our sign-up form. Please note: We request $100-$150 is spent per youth/child; please keep this in mind when choosing how many youth/children you would like to support.
- After you sign-up to participate, we will match you with a youth/child and send you your youth/child wish list/s with labeling and drop off instructions.
