Hey y'all!
We gotta stop and say a big THANK YOU for young folks looking to access a better future.

Here’s a quick look at what YOU made possible:

We launched the first Bridge Housing Program for youth in Tallahassee, giving them a safe space to start fresh.

We expanded housing support for youth who’ve survived trafficking, giving them the tools to heal and rebuild their lives.

Our Drop-In Center is almost ready to roll— a one-stop shop where youth can access education, job support, mental health resources, and more.

We served over 300 youth this year facing homelessness, poverty, and violence.

But here’s the thing: Youth homelessness in Tallahassee has nearly doubled in recent years, and with local funding cuts, we’re often serving more youth with fewer resources.

Your support is more critical than ever. We need you to help us keep the momentum going and ensure every young person has the support they deserve.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday— a global day of giving— and we’re asking for your help again. Your donation will make sure we can keep providing life-changing care for youth in the Big Bend area.

Here's how you can step up:

Join us: Follow us on social media for updates and ways to get involved.

Spread the word: Share our mission with your friends and family and get them to support us too.

Give if you can: Every dollar goes straight to the youth who need it most.

Thank you for being part of the movement. Together, we’ll keep building a world where every young person has a safe place to lay their head and the chance to thrive.

They will be onsite Friday from 10A-12P in the Drop In Center conducting mouth swabs for anyone interested in knowing their HIV status.
