Youth and young parents coming to us for employment programming often are hungry, sometimes without a stable housing situation. We hope you can help lead a collection drive for food items that are non-perishable and easy to prepare.
This could include: Ramen or other noodle bowls, Microwavable Soup, Popcorn, crackers, granola bars, protein bars, gold fish, pasta and pasta sauce...
Quote from Career Counselor of Youth Futures Program: "A pregnant teen came into my office and told me she hadn't eaten in two days. I gave her my lunch."
