2023 was a phenomenal year for re-instilling our core values and streamlining operations at StandUp for Kids so we can better serve our youth. Highlights are captured in our just released Annual Report available on our website.

Finding reliable food sources can be daunting for at-risk youth. Hunger not only clouds judgment but can lead to poor choices. That's why we're enhancing our core programs with a critical new initiative: Food Access, to help fuel every youth's journey. #FoodAccess

What words of encouragement would you offer to a homeless child? In the first 2 days without shelter, newly homeless kids might do things they can’t take back: follow a stranger home, take drugs to cope, swap sex for food. If we reach them first, there’s hope.

Our mission is to save as many homeless kids as we can from the dangers that exist on the streets — especially in the first 2 days without shelter. We show them that they matter, that we really care, and, more importantly, that they are not alone. #48Hours #48HoursToSaveALife

Sometimes it's the little things that can make a homeless youth's day: having a new backpack, a fresh set of clothes, a hot meal. Or it's the big things: a safe place to sleep, mentoring, transportation to school or a job. Make a gift. #TimeForGiving #HolidaySeason #Charity
