DearFriends:

I am so grateful that the youth of our community have Jackson Street Youth Shelter as a safe place to go when they are in crisis. Hard times can hit anyone, but youth ages 10-17 are especially vulnerable.

My family supports Jackson Street Youth Shelter for three reasons; 1) our youth are clearly in need, 2) the shelter provides outstanding care, and 3) Jackson Street provides shelter, outreach, and support not otherwise available in our area.

Thank you for being part of a caring community, and for supporting our youth through your gifts to Jackson Street Youth Shelter.
