When you make a gift to The Village, you help:
- Keep our Drop-In Center open so that we can continue to provide critical resources and support to unhoused youth who have nowhere else to turn–a safe place, meals, education assistance for students, help transitioning to housing, and so much more.
- Ensure that our outreach team can continue distributing emergency supplies at “homeless hot spots” throughout our community.
- Provide coordinated mental health interventions from caring professionals.
- Reconnect unaccompanied minors with family members.
- And so much more.
