School may be out soon, but nutritious meals are still available throughout the summer!

The YMCA Summer Meals Program is providing free grab-and-go breakfasts and lunches for youth ages 0-18 at locations across Klamath Falls and Bonanza. No registration is required, making it easy for families to access healthy meals while school is out of session.

📅 Program runs June 15 – August 28, 2026

📍 Weekly distribution sites include:
• Klamath County Courthouse
• Mills-Kiwanis Park

Access to healthy food is an important part of helping youth thrive, and we are grateful for programs like this that support families throughout the summer months. 💙

💙 What Does a Donation Really Do? 💙

When you support Integral Youth Services, you're doing more than making a donation. You're helping provide safety, stability, and opportunity for youth and young adults throughout the Klamath Basin.

Every contribution makes a difference:

🪥 $25 can provide hygiene supplies and basic necessities, including maternity supplies, diapers and wipes

🛒 $50 can help stock a pantry with groceries 1-2 residents per week
⛽ $100 can provide transportation assistance for work, school, appointments, and other important milestones
🛏️ $250 can help furnish a bedroom and create a welcoming space for a young person transitioning into stable housing
🏠 $500 can help support a resident with housing, case management, life skills development, and supportive services

At IYS, every dollar stays local and directly impacts youth and young adults who are working toward brighter, more stable futures.

Because sometimes hope starts with something as simple as a meal, a ride to work, a safe place to sleep, or knowing someone cares. 💙

💙We want to give A HUGE SHOUTOUT and THANK YOU to Ross Dress for Less! 🎉

During a recent "round-up" event at our local Ross store, our generous community members and partners donated almost $3,000 toward youth and young adults throughout Klamath County.

This donation will go toward our program expenses at:

🏠 My Friend's Place Youth Shelter
🌱 Transitional Living Program (TLP)
👶 Maternity Group Home (MGH)

These funds help provide safe housing, basic necessities, life skills development, case management, and supportive services that empower youth and young families to build stable, successful futures.

Every dollar invested in our programs creates opportunities for young people facing homelessness, instability, and difficult life circumstances. Partnerships like this remind us that when businesses and communities come together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of local youth.

Thank you, Ross, for believing in our mission and helping us provide hope, support, and opportunity to those who need it most. 💙
