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.
