Mary Nelson Youth Center
A grassroots, community-run youth center dedicated to empowering the lives of children and their families seeks assistance in renovating and repairing its space so it can continue to combat poverty through a wide range of programs and resources focused on education, mentorship, health, career and life-skills services.
Why It Matters
This youth center helps kids and their families to become self-sufficient, helps them to complete their education and brings us closer to ending the war on poverty and violence. The center is also an organization that partners with hospitals, health experts, teachers, lawyers and other organizations to help families get medication and health services they otherwise could not afford.
The Impact
“It became very challenging keeping up with the center repairs,” wrote project nominator Mary Nelson. “At one time our furnace was not working, so we had no heat. Having more storage space and expanding our kitchen would allow us to do so much more."
I see so much potential with our center, and I know with a little lift we can help in so many other ways.
