A huge thank you goes out to Cassandra and Matt Vasil for the vegetable and flower garden! Can’t wait to watch this little garden grow! The popsicle’s were also a big hit for the kids! We appreciate the two of you!

Yesterday a handful of our Franklin center kiddos were able to go to the Franklin Public Library for a story time with Miss Megan. After reading we planted some flower seeds and decorated our pots. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity!

Youth Alternatives is hosting its week-long Children's Camp from August 9-15, 2026, and we are raising funds to support this initiative. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5.00 each or three for $10.00, with numerous prizes to be won, including $500.00 for the top prize. The cost of the camp is approximately $310.00 per participant; however, we are committed to providing it free of charge to all youth, made possible through donations, grants, and our fundraising efforts, allowing us to continue our mission of Empowering Youth, Encouraging Better Futures!

Please reach out if you are interested in purchasing tickets or possibly sponsoring a youth for a week-long of adventure!

Thank you all for your continued support!
