I encourage our neighbors to join this meaningful brunch and conversation as we collectively imagine what’s possible for our children and our community.

Throughout the holiday season, our youth shelter is open 24/7, including on Christmas and New Year’s, as part of our ongoing safety-net support for families in need.

Our youth shelter provides kids aged 10 to 17 a short-term residence and safe space as they navigate difficult situations like a family crisis or homelessness. It also serves as a place of respite for youth engaging in high-risk behaviors like running away from home, truancy, or ungovernability to keep them safe, out of the delinquency system, and provide them needed support.

For more information, call us at 407-836-7626 or visit our Youth and Family page: https://bit.ly/48KdvMK
