Just like this pandemic has changed the world, YouthCare has changed the way we’re feeding and caring for youth experiencing homelessness homeless youth in our community. We rose to the occasion from the onset of the pandemic six months ago, ensuring all young people have enough to eat during this unprecedented time. We couldn’t provide food and safety to young people—24 hours a day, seven days a week—without the generous support of our community partners and local restaurants.
We’re taking some time to show our appreciation to our #FoodHeroes—those who showed compassion and generosity during a time when it mattered most.
