Youth Connect Center
Serving youth ages 13-18. Dedicated to FOSTERing a safe and healthy, relationship focused-atmosphere
It’s that time of year where we need blankets for our unhoused youth. Currently we are looking for:
⭐️the cozier the better! Fleece or flannel is great.
❌ comforters or crocheted and knitted quilts are wonderul, but difficult to manage for our friends when they get wet or are being transported. We will need these later into the winter.
⭐️throw size is always a plus for us.
⭐️the more the merrier
