Homeless Youth Connection (HYC) is appreciative and pleased to announce that Waste Connection/Right Away Disposal (RAD) has presented the organization with a check in the amount of $5,000 to support services and programming for youth experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County. HYC received the check on April 20, 2021 at their Transitional Host Home in the City of Goodyear, one of many cities in Arizona where RAD provides services.

“It’s so important to us to forge positive relationships within our communities and give back whenever possible. Homeless Youth Connection is at the top of the list when it comes to giving back,” said Larry Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at RAD. “It truly warms our hearts to contribute to such a meaningful cause that provides a blanket of support and empowers youth to overcome the challenges of homelessness. HYC will continue to receive our support this year and for many more to come.”

This donation is a continuation of RAD’s generous support of the organization, having sponsored the HYC Racing for Hope event in 2018. Their most recent donation will support programming and services provided to hundreds of youth experiencing homelessness throughout the county.

“We are so appreciative of Waste Connection/Right Away Disposal. Their generous support will make a tremendous difference for youth experiencing homelessness who are working hard to graduate, especially after this past year,” said Dawn Bogart, Chief Executive Officer at HYC. “HYC is so grateful for the continued and significant support we receive from the City of Goodyear, its businesses, and residents. This community and companies like RAD are investing in our youth to help them graduate and have a successful and sustainable future.”
