TYC In The Community

Here are just a couple of things TYC was able to do because of donors like you!

Donations from our year-end request supplied a first-time college student with books and basic necessities as she began her post high-school academic career

When our grants couldn’t cover temporary housing for a newly homeless teenager, TYC used unrestricted funds to make sure he was off the streets and in safe, temporary housing with essential supplies like clothes, toiletries, and food.
