Gift Cards from Old Navy, Target, and Fred Meyer. Gift cards will be used for clothing, shoes, job and school readiness supplies. The Teen Outreach Program is a dignity restorative program. Starting at a new school or a job in new, well fitting clothing makes a huge difference in lives of our youth. New, well fitting clothes and shoes promote self-esteem and help youth feel equal to their peers. Additionally, at this time we do not have the space to store a large surplus of donated clothing items.
