Help them THRIVE in 2025

Help teens in our care walk into the school year with confidence. We’re collecting new, with tags clothing and shoes in teen-appropriate styles and adult sizes only. These are young people who’ve faced disruption, and your support helps them feel seen, valued, and ready for what’s next.

Drop-off times:
Wednesday, August 13 | 5–6 pm
Saturday, August 16 | 10–11 am
Wednesday, August 20 | 5–6 pm

Bring donations during select drop-off times in August or give online, and we’ll take care of the shopping.

Will you help make sure our residents have what they need to start the school year?
