Stay In-The-Know: Updated list of items needed to support Face to Face youth this winter

Hello!

I’m Jessica Moua, the new Development Associate at Face to Face.

With winter just around the corner, I’m reaching out with an urgent request. Many of the youth we support—and their young children—come to our clinic or SafeZone without a coat, even in below-freezing temperatures.

Our goal this winter is to make sure every young person leaves Face to Face with a warm coat, gloves, and hat.

But to reach that goal, we need your help now.

Fall Essentials for Youth: See What We Need to Keep Them Warm and Prepared

Fall items are essential for youth to stay warm and comfortable as temperatures drop and the weather becomes more unpredictable.

• 200 sets of winter coats, hats, and gloves: Sizes for toddlers (2T, 3T, 4T), kids (4, 5, 6, 7), and adults (S, M, L, XL).

• New or gently used socks (all sizes).

• Sweaters, hoodies, long pants, sweatpants, and leggings (adult sizes).

• New or gently used blankets

• Hand warmers

Here’s how you can help:

• Drop off donations: Bring your items directly to the clinic at 1165 Arcade St. St. Paul, MN 55106, Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

• Organize a drive: Rally your friends, colleagues, or community group to collect items this fall. Just email me to get started!

• Shop our Amazon wishlist: Purchase items from our Amazon wishlist and have them shipped directly to us.

We are incredibly grateful for all the ways you may have supported Face to Face youth in the past, and we truly appreciate you considering helping again now. Your contribution—whether it’s a single coat or an organized drive—will make a huge difference in ensuring that every youth we serve this winter is warm and protected from the cold.

Warm regards,
