We depend on support from you, our community, so that we remain unrestricted in building quality programs informed first and foremost by the dynamic needs of the youth we serve. We ask youth what is working for them.
Our promise is to be efficient and nimble, filling the cracks of our broken system. We listen nightly to the unique needs of our young people. We navigate deftly on their behalf towards their goals of health and stability. We pride ourselves in being the most low barrier connector between our guests and suitable nonprofit, government, faith-based, and business services.
We leverage your tax-exempt donations and local partnerships to feed, house, and employ our guests. Whatever you have to give is appreciated. Any donation amount makes you a Teen Feed partner. Join us in our mission to create a comprehensive network of support for our youth because we know that relationships are the way that homelessness is overcome.
Please call (206) 522-4366 or email our Director of Community and Donor Engagement at janine@teenfeed.org with any questions.
In-kind donations are basic needs items supplied by you, our community, to help youth care for themselves. For information on needed goods and how to donate, please contact us at (206) 522-4366 or info@teenfeed.org.
Additionally, our youth appreciate the agency of being able to make their own choices. Work clothes and boots often require custom sizes and styles. A gift card of $20, $30, or $50 goes a long way in encouraging autonomy and self-esteem. Below are options from some of our retail partnerships.
We appreciate donations in all forms. Check out our volunteerism page to learn more about hosting your own basic needs drive and other one-time volunteer opportunities.
Workplace and Matching Gifts
You are already giving, so why not double or even triple the impact of your gift to Teen Feed? Your workplace and matching gift program may value your volunteerism or match your monetary donations with very little extra effort. Contact your employer’s human resources office to find out if you can support Teen Feed via payroll deduction or your workplace giving campaign. Let us know by emailing info@teenfeed.org so we can add them to our list!
Donor Advised Funds
If you’re interested in making a gift through your donor advised fund or investment brokerage, that’s great! However, we as a recipient are not always informed of your name or contact information due to privacy laws, and when the exciting anonymous gift arrives – how do we know it’s you? Please let us know what you are planning so we can properly acknowledge your generosity. You will not be added to a mailing list unless it’s your request. Contact P Janine Kennedy at janine@teenfeed.org to get you started.
Create Your Legacy
Legacy giving enables you to make a significant contribution to the work that is most meaningful to you. With proper planning, you can ensure your wishes are fulfilled, potentially lower your estate tax, and create a safe legacy of funding for youth futures.
Honor Gifts
A gift to Teen Feed in the name of a loved one can honor or memorialize your special person. Donate and include the appropriate address.
Transfer Your Stock
Yes, we can help. And it’s a tax-deductible gift. Let us know if we can get you started at info@teenfeed.org.
