| Last updated on October 22, 2009 |
IHYC is looking for volunteers who want to help with our Adopt-A-Youth Program. Homeless and Aftercare Youth/Families fill out wish list items- allowing individuals or groups to shop, wrap and provide a youth with a gift for this holiday season. For many, this is the only gift they will receive. The youth will give us ideas and sizes. Gift certificates are always a good idea, letting the youth pick and choose items they like and/or need. We do ask that only 1 gift is purchased per youth- as we have over 100 youth in need of assistance this year!! For more information please call Toni Nicol; @ 515-265-1222 or 515-249-2225.
Any individual or group can help! One gift is all it takes! This opportunity is sponsored by: Iowa Homeless Youth Centers - Des Moines
