Every year many groups and individuals spearhead projects that support youth in need. Thank you for joining this team!
These needed items are organized by category so they can easily be turned into a community drives or fundraisers with your friends, neighbors, or coworkers.
Clothing Needs:
Our Youth Ambassadors have finally gotten through and washed the huge amount of donated clothing from the holiday season! We are overstocked on most clothing items and aren’t accepting general clothing donations. HOWEVER! There are a few gaps that we would love to fill in the clothing closet so that it is more inclusive for all our youth. We get a lot of requests for plus sized clothing and have very limited options, especially the following items:
-Plus size jeans for men (36-46) and women (sz 12-28)
-swim suits and swim trunks all sized x small- xxxL
-Sweatpants/Lounge pants for men and women sizes xsmall-XXXL
-Leggings x-small-XXXL
-Athletic shoes all sizes mens and womens
-Pullover sweatshirts LG-XXXL
-Maternity Clothing M-XXXL
Please donate all items during our open hours, listed above!
