Friend, 

In 2022, we teamed up with the Maryland Office of the Public Defender to launch a donation drive to support system-involved youth in need of basic essentials, such as those entering foster care and group homes with little to no belongings of their own. The donation drive was a huge success, thanks to the generosity of our community. Now it’s time to restock the supply closet, and this year, we aim to make an even greater impact!

We want to ensure these at-risk kids have what they need in order to succeed. We are seeking donations of essential items such as clothing, hygiene products, and comfort items, which can be found on their Amazon wishlist.

Would you be able to donate essentials for these system-involved youth? Your support can make a tremendous difference in the lives of these young people, helping them to feel valued and cared for during a difficult time. 

Take me to the Amazon wishlist!

If you or your organization would like to contribute, please feel free to reach out with any questions or to coordinate your donation.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a positive impact in our community. I know we all want our kids to succeed, and supporting this donation drive will do a lot for at-risk youth. Your generosity can bring hope and comfort to those who need it most.
