Join 93.7 The Bull for Boatload of Toys as we set up show at Bass Pro in St. Charles December 7th and 8th to collect for Youth In Need! We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys, clothing items, hygiene items, gift cards and more! There’s no donation too big or too small. Everything helps! Some of the items were looking for include.
- Board and card games (Jenga, UNO, Monopoly)
- African-American hair products
- Gift cards (Target, Walmart, gas stations, fast food restaurants) New youth are always coming into the Emergency Shelter. Sometimes, they come to Youth in Need with just the clothes they are wearing, so they need to be able to stock them up. When our Street Outreach team canvasses areas to connect with youth experiencing homelessness, they will give gift cards to youth so they can get clothes and food.
- Diapers and Pull-Ups (sizes 4 and 5 preferred)
- Play-Doh
Monetary donations are accepted as well.
- $10 provides a hot meal for youth experiencing homelessness.
- $25 provides a weekly Metro pass for a youth in our Transitional Living Program to get to a job interview, work or school.
- $50 provides household necessities (like cleaning supplies, paper goods, food, etc.) for youth learning independence in our Supported Apartments Program.
- $100 provides gas to keep the Youth in Need Street Outreach program van running for a week.
