Our fall fundraiser, Community Cares, is in full swing here at Youth Homes, and we cannot help but reflect on how lucky we are to have a community who is so ready to show up for our youth through their own amazing efforts!

From clothing donation drives to gift card collections and birthday gift deliveries, it is always a special occasion when our community is able to support our youth in such a tangible way.

In April of this year, our store expanded to provide more space, hold more treasures, and create more impact for young people served by Youth Homes. What made this project all the more special is that it was run by one of the young adults who receives our services.

On the morning of June 3rd, a community full of people gathered in the center of their town and spent the morning making a huge impact, simply because they care.

This past Saturday was one giant labor of love from Youth Homes’ staff, volunteers, and larger community. It is not extremely often that we have the opportunity to all gather in person, hug each other, enjoy a meal and laugh together – but this weekend was one of those opportunities, and we are so grateful for it!

On the first Friday of March, we gathered together with friends and family of Youth Homes, team members, board members, and a few brand new faces for our Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament fundraiser.
