Before Jared* came to Youth Homes, his world had become very small. At just 10 years old, he had already been removed from two schools because of physical aggression and behavioral challenges connected to his autism. He struggled to regulate his emotions, often reacting with tantrums, whining, and aggression toward even the adults trying to help him.

When you shop at Youth Homes Thrift Shop, every item you purchase makes a difference; not just to your wardrobe or your home, but to someone’s life. To continuously offer fresh inventory, our team actively seeks new and sustainable partnerships to keep our shelves filled, and give customers more opportunities to shop and make a difference.

Every day we witness resilience and determination within the young people we work with at Youth Homes. They remind us there is much more to a family than just the one we're born into.
