Please consider supporting the important work we do for the hundreds of homeless and at-risk youth by donating in-kind gifts. Our residents, who are ages 18-24 come to us with very few personal belongings. Remembering them especially during the holiday season would make them feel wanted and loved. If you wish to help, here are a few item on their wish list that you can donate (brand new and unwrapped items only). You may also offer monetary donations by using your credit card and clicking here. Nothing will be deducted for Administration-100% of your gift will be used for purchasing gifts. There are also volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups. For more information about volunteering, click here.

For further information, please contact Chad Chapman at 323-461-3131 ext. 228
