Runaways
Drug and alcohol use
Families in need of a support system

How can you help?
YESS relies on the generous support and involvement of individuals and groups within the community to ensure that kids and families get the help they need. . . when they need it.

Each year, more than 1,000 children find safety, care, and support at YESS. For many of these kids and parents, YESS’ community supported emergency shelter, crisis nursery, and counseling services are their only option. Your gifts will provide shelter for a child when home is not an option, and help connect the family with the support they need to work through their problems.
