Become a Friend of YFS

An Invitation from John Schneider, Executive Director

YFS is dependent upon support from our community. A YFS Friend is an individual or business that has made a commitment to support the mission of YFS through a variety of ways. Becoming a Friend of YFS is a great way to get connected with the needs of children and youth in our community. You will learn how you and your organization can make a difference in this very important work. A Friend may provide anything from an annual donation to organizing a wishlist drive. Each Friend can participate in their own way, the possibilities are endless! Here are some ideas for our Friends:

  • Organize a canned food drive for our Independent Living Program.
  • Purchase a birthday gift for a child in our shelter.
  • Donate $100 every year.
  • Ask each member of your sunday school class to donate a package of diapers to our shelter.
  • Network YFS with new friends and partners.
  • Ask your employer to be a corporate sponsor for YFS.
  • Regularly sponsor a certain event or activity at YFS.

All of these ideas will help YFS and allow us to make a difference in our community.  YFS will provide special communication with our  Friends so that each friend can stay informed and know about new opportunities to participate in all the great things happening at YFS.
