Just in Time for Foster Youth Launches My First Home for the Holidays campaign for Transitioning Youth

Just in Time for Foster Youth, a nonprofit organization dedicated ending the cycle of foster care by helping youth leaving the foster care system obtain essential transitional support for self-sufficiency and well being, is holding its annual Just in Time for Foster Youth’s My First Home for the Holidays campaign to help dozens of transitioning youth transform empty apartments into safe, comfortable homes. The goal of this campaign, which takes place from December 1, 2013 – January 11, 2014, is to collect needed cash, gift cards, and in-kind donations of new household items such as pots and pans, small kitchen appliances, lamps, and bedding.

HOW TO DONATE:

  • Donate Cash Online at www.jitfosteryouth.org
  • Purchase a $25 gift card to a department store such as Target, Walmart, or Home Goods and drop it off or mail it to the Just in Time for Foster Youth office, located at 3878 Old Town Avenue Suite 200 San Diego, CA 92110, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
  • Host your own Mini Drive involving friends, family, work, club, or church. Collect new household items such as: sets of silverware
    glassware, dishware, pots & pans, bath towels, full sheets and
    comforters, pillows, and blankets.
  • Visit the wish list registry for Just in Time at Wal-Mart, Target or Macy’s
