THANK YOU!!!
Together we provided nearly 2000 items to youth experiencing homelessness



Donation Drive for Homeless Youth 2016

Picture
On any given night just in MN, there are a reported 1150 homeless kids without a place to call home. Last year we collected over 1100 items for youth experiencing homelessness.
Let's see if we can do it again!
​
  1. Shop or gather donation items
  2. Contact us on Facebook or Jennifer@HeroSearch.org to arrange pick up / drop off
  3. We will distribute directly to local organizations that serve homeless youth
YouthLink (Minneapolis)
Hope4Youth (Anoka)

OR
  • Donate directly (to the shelters above or one near you) and send us a private message to let us know the amount


​The most needed items this year are:

1) Deodorant - women and men
2) Underwear (new) - men’s boxer briefs, women’s undies and bras (‘like new’ bras are ok)
3) No prep, easy-open meals:
  • Macaroni ‘n’ Cheese (cups) - These fly off the shelves
  • Canned / Cup Meals (Pastas, Stews, heat-and-eat meals) - These young people don’t always have access to heat or prepare food
  • Granola / Fruit / Breakfast Bars or fruit cups
4) Warm socks - most shelters close during the day
5) Gently used or new warm coats, hats, mittens, scarves - (‘youth' styles help so they don’t stand out awkwardly at school)


YouthLink also has a Christmas program that let’s homeless youth pick out gifts for their children or friends and families they may be ‘couch-hopping’ with so they can experience the joy of giving. If you want to participate in this program, they are looking for:
  • Children’s toys and games for ages 0-5 (for Christmas)
  • Dish sets
  • Utensil sets
  • New sheet sets - twin or full sized
  • New house ware items like pots and pans, can openers, and cooking utensils
  • Small appliances: irons, toasters, coffee pots
  • Games and sporting equipment
