Clothing Gift Cards
Time and again, Youth In Need welcomes teens in crisis into its residential homes, often with nothing more than the clothes on their back. During their indeterminable stay at the
Emergency Shelter, these under-resourced teens continue schooling through either their local school or ExCEL, an alternative school that supports a healthy transition back to the home school. A donation of clothing store gift cards (such as Old Navy, Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl's, etc.) will give these deserving children and teens at least one more set of clothes so that they can stay warm and continue working towards achieving their highest potential.
Although we are appreciative of all gifts, Youth In Need no longer accepts used donations.
