How You Can Help
With your support this year, Avenues will help over 300 youth find safe shelter and support. They’ll have the opportunity to transition to a stable young adulthood and become contributing members of our community. Your gifts of dollars, time and in-kind donations make our mission possible.
The statistics of homeless youth in Minnesota are staggering. There isn’t enough shelter, housing and supportive services in the state for the 6000+ youth who experience homelessness every night.
That’s why we and our partners are working hard to expand our services and reach more youth. You can help! We offer some suggestions below.
