We are a 501-3C non-profit organization that started a youth drop in center called Amy’s Place in December 2006. Starting with 6 youth, our growth has been exponential. We have had the opportunity of serving 589 individuals during the past 20 months, and youth have returned to the center over 3,072 times!!  We are struggling to meet not only the basic needs of these children but also address the underlying problems they face.  By creating a non-threatening youth friendly environment such as Amy’s Place, where  basic needs are met, Amy’s Place attendees naturally become more likely to want to make positive changes in their lives.  With love, support, and mentoring they can become more successful as they connect to community resources such as stable housing, employment, education, and healthcare opportunities.
 
If you talk to the kids they will tell you how much having a place to go and a meal means to them:
A place where they can simply be young people without shouldering the burden of survival for a few hours.
