Pack It Up
Is your church group, business, or civic group looking for a simple way to make a big difference? We provide over 16,000 meals a year, including bag lunches, to our young people, homeless youth ages 14-24. We get our food in big containers and need it repacked into individual Ziploc baggies. Provide single-serve baggies and spend a few hours to pack food for us.
Gather a groups of friends, colleagues of family members and helping keep our buildings clean! Outdoor opportunities include Fall, Spring and Summer sprucing up of our property. Put on your garden gloves and enjoy the great outdoors at Face to Face!
Our buildings can always use some extra TLC. Help our staff organize, clean and refresh common spaces. We will provide the cleaning supplies and gloves for your group. Help our spaces stay welcoming, warm and smelling fresh for the youth we serve.
Help decorate common spaces at Face to Face to reflect upcoming holidays. Face to Face strives to keep our buildings a positive environment for the youth that we serve. Your help decorating for the seasons will bring added joy to our space.
Face to Face offers GED classes for homeless youth ages 14-24 visiting our drop-in center. Often our young people come to us with only the barest of necessities. For them, school supplies are not affordable. Your donated school supplies of backpacks, pens/pencils, markers and highlighters, notebooks, tape, post-it notes, rulers, and scissors will help our youth stay focused on their dreams of a better tomorrow.
Face to Face works with over 3,000 at-risk young people every year, many who are homeless. Our goal is to provide them with what they need to move toward safety and security. If you want to help make a difference in the lives of these young people, please consider hosting a supply drive of personal care items with your place of worship, business, or club. We regularly give youth toothbrushes and toothpaste; hair products for ethnic hair; menstrual products; and many other items. If your friends or work group want to host a drive, contact us below.
There is a distinct lack of access to menstrual health care products for youth experiencing homelessness. Face to Face is working to change that! We work with young people 14-24 experiencing homelessness and give out 100 tampons, and 60 pads, and 150 pantiliners every week! If your friends or work group want to host a drive for menstrual products, contact us.
