In-Kind Donations
In‐kind donations are essential for HYC to help youth experiencing homelessness stay in school, graduate and thrive. We rely on individual and community in-kind donations to connect our youth with the hygiene products, school supplies and other resources they need. You can support HYC by donating items that are urgently needed by our youth today. Please note, we are not currently accepting clothing donations.
Check out our needs list here and reach out to us at (602) 847-4300 or info@hycaz.org to schedule a time to drop off your donation.
You can also order items by using AmazonSmile and they will ship directly to HYC! View our wish lists here:
In-Kind Donation Drives
Hosting a donation drive is an excellent way to support youth experiencing homelessness! It not only helps youth in our program who need basic supplies, but it can also promote a giving culture among a group of people. Collaborate with others from your business, organization, school or church to collect items in high demand by our youth and raise awareness for Homeless Youth Connection. If you are interested in hosting a donation drive, please contact info@hycaz.org, for more information and to coordinate a drop-off time for your donation.
