Other Ways You Can Help
There are hundreds of ways you can Change Young Lives! Below are some ideas and if you want to discuss more, please email cass.hayes@ysoc.org and put "I want to Change Young Lives!" in the subject line.
Pack the Pantry - Drop off a bag of non-perishable food to feed a hungry teen. Suggested items include cereal, breakfast bars, fruit snacks, juice (not needing refrigeration), cocoa, teabags, soup, canned pasta, packaged pasta or rice mixes, dry pasta and jars of sauce, canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat, cheese/cracker combos, crackers, cookies, peanut butter, jelly, jerky, and other "usual" food basket items. Office hours are Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Plan a Polo Party - Ask your friends to bring a new white polo-type shirt in their size (or any adult size) to help provide school uniforms to teens trying to graduate from high school while living on their own. To learn more about our Supporting Kids in Independent Living (SKIL) Program, see "Programs and Services".
Shop for YSOC - Make a 100% tax-deductible gift to underwrite a variety of services on our Shopping List. Perhaps your civic organization, church or synagogue group, Scout Troop or youth group could choose a need on our list and work together to make a real difference in the lives of our teens.
