Kudos to our incredible Youth Action Team! The teens organized and held a winter clothing drive and pickup open to all. Under the leadership of Hannah, Rhiannon, Frances and Nyah, they dreamed of, organized and orchestrated the entire event from start to finish on their own. The teens collected four carloads of donated clothing, washed and sorted them, and then gave them away to those in need. We continue to be inspired by these young people and are so happy to be working with them!
Special thanks to Super Suds Laundromat and the Groovy Blueberry for making this event possible.

Register today to secure a spot. We are so happy with the feedback that we have received on the program and we're honored to be able to provide this invaluable resource to teens.
