July and August: Annual Backpack and School Supplies Drive

Hope For Youth has many children in various Long Island School Districts ranging in grades from kindergarten through 12th. Our children are often scared and insecure to face the new school year because in the past their family might not have had the means to afford the needed school supplies. Donated supplies are always welcomed! 

 

 

November and December: Annual Toy Drive

One of the fondest memories our Alumni have is of the December holidays. All youth in our programs are in need of age appropriate toys and clothing. Gift cards and electronics are welcomed as well. Please consider contributing to Hope for the Holidays.

 

Run For Hope 5k

 

Join us as we run, jog or walk to support our youth shelter. This is a great way to exercise for a purpose! Your funds support the only runaway & homeless youth shelter located in Suffolk County, providing shelter for males and females, ages 14 – 20.

 

 

All Year: Recreation Drive
Please consider donating to our Recreation Drive for parking or entrance fees to places such as miniature golf, baseball practice cages, indoor or outdoor sports arenas, concerts, movies, etc. Our youth are certainly in need of fun, downtime in their lives!  

 

 

All Year: Toiletry Drive       

Many children come to Hope For Youth by way of the Nassau and Suffolk County family courts. While in our care, safe home-like environments are provided. We are always happy to receive donated toiletries for both male and female. Children’s’ shampoo and bubble bath products, shampoo and conditioner for older youth, soap and shower gel, deodorant, body lotion, hair product and brushes, and AXE products are always in need, throughout the year.
