Please be advised that the scheduled food distribution event for June 11th has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Stay tuned for updates on our next distribution date and thank you for your continued support.

Because of the generosity of our volunteers, donors, and community partners, Youth Crossroads was able to serve 172 families and approximately 602 individuals during our food distribution on June 8.

Access to nutritious food is an essential part of building strong, healthy communities. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this distribution possible and to the families who trusted us to be part of their support network.

Together, we are creating a community where every family has access to the resources they need to thrive.

Thank you for helping us make a difference.

Youth Crossroads is proud to partner with Mariely Martinez Photography to present Simply Us—a limited-edition portrait experience celebrating connection, belonging, and the relationships that help us stay true to ourselves.

This meaningful campaign invites families, siblings, couples, parents and children, pets and their people, and small groups to participate in a one-of-a-kind portrait experience designed to honor the bonds that make us feel seen, supported, and connected.

Portrait sessions will take place July 18–19, with a limited number of private weekday appointments available for those who need alternative scheduling.

Each participant will receive a personal planning consultation with Mariely before their session to create portraits that feel authentic, meaningful, and uniquely reflective of their relationships.

The $175 participation fee reserves your session, includes a $100 donation to Youth Crossroads, and helps support the creation of Simply Us: A Portrait Exhibit Celebrating Connection and Belonging, opening this fall.

Following the session, participants will enjoy a private ordering appointment to select their favorite custom photographic artwork. Selected portraits will be featured in the fall exhibit.

We are honored to bring this special project to our community and invite you to join us in celebrating relationships, connection, belonging, and youth mental health.

✨ Reserve your spot today! We can't wait to celebrate your story.

🧡 June is Gun Violence Awareness Month 🧡
Did you know gun violence is one of the leading causes of injury and loss among young people in the U.S.? Every day, lives are impacted — including those in our own communities.
At Youth Crossroads, we believe in the power of hope, healing, and action. That’s why this month, we’re wearing orange — a symbol of safety and support — to raise awareness and honor those affected by gun violence.
On Friday, June 6, join us for National Gun Violence Awareness Day by wearing orange. It’s a simple way to show you care and help start important conversations about creating safer spaces.
If you or someone you know needs support, our Project Peace Department is here to help. They offer resources, counseling, and a listening ear for anyone affected by violence or trauma.
Together, we can build a stronger, safer future. 🧡
