Northwest Youth Services – Keeping Our Youth Safe

 

Since 1976, Northwest Youth Services has been the doorway to safety and the pathway to progress for thousands of young lives. Much has changed in our communities during those years. What has not changed is the commitment of NW Youth Services to supporting the uniqueness of each youth served.

For runaway, homeless, “throw-away”, abused, neglected and other at-risk youth and young adults, NW Youth Services is their lifeline. NWYS’s mission is: to keep youth safe, heal family relationships, reconnect youth to the community and promote self-reliance.

Holiday Giving
What better way to feel abundance & gratitude this holiday season, than to participate in giving back to our community.

The Third Annual Whatcom Give-a-thon will be held Friday, December 2 from 1-7pm at 3990 Meridian (that’s the former Value Village building).  This event is hosting nearly 50 local non-profits, including our member The Assistance League of Bellingham.

There will be music, holiday festivities, coffee in the afternoon and early evening (+ Boundary Bay cash beer bar in the very late afternoon).  All charities will accept donations of cash/check.  Also, many need volunteer help and items such as winter clothing, food, pet food, and so on.
Give back as you Give thanks this winter.
