It’s the most wonderful time of year for many, but for some people right here in our community, the holiday season is a time of stress and sadness. Many young people who turn to YST for help are facing the holidays alone. Others will spend the cold winter months without a warm coat and no safe place to stay. And for the youth in our Shelter, the holidays are a reminder of family conflict, neglect and loneliness. 

 

You can change that by giving Gifts of Hope.

 

When you “adopt a youth” for the holidays, you’ll receive a personalized wish list, including essential items and a fun gift to make the holidays seem brighter. You’ll learn the youth’s favorite colors, sizes, style preferences (and even their favorite snacks)! You can help change the narrative of the holiday season into something that sparks joy and hope for the future. 



Wish lists will be sent to your email starting November 15.
