Below is a list of items that we need for the upcoming Pop-Up Drop-In for youth facing homelessness in our region.  We can also use CUPCAKES and homemade COOKIES (bagged in ziplock bags, 4-6 per bag) for our cupcake walk.  Nonperishables can be dropped off at Papeterie Stationery & Gifts in Stony Point Shopping Center (near Good Foods Grocery & Einstein's Bagels).  If you are making cupcakes, please email Natalie for drop-off/pick up arrangements.  Thank you so much!

WHY?

Hundreds of youth in the Richmond region face homelessness & unstable housing. There are few resources to serve them. Advocates for Richmond Youth join Change the World RVA & other providers to host quarterly Pop-up Drop-In Centers:  One day and place where these youth can find services and support.

 

HOW TO DONATE

You may simply drop off items by August 24th at Bon Air United Methodist Church (1645 Buford Rd) or Papeterie Fine Stationery & Gifts (3045 Stony Point Rd., near Good Foods Grocery & Toys That Teach).
