Hearts & Homes for Youth recently received some gently used furniture in great condition from a supporter in the community. The furniture will go directly to our program facilities to beautify the spaces and make them more homelike for the youth in our care.
With over 300 kids coming through our programs each year, we have a constant need for support and are immensely grateful for gifts such as this recent donation of gently used furniture!
Each year Hearts & Homes for Youth continues to advance its mission of empowering youth to build brighter futures by providing them with mental health, academic, vocational, and other supportive services in a homelike environment where they heal, grow, and develop.
Hearts & Homes for Youth has been able to sustain the homelike environments thanks to volunteers from BB&T Bethesda, BB&T Hunt Valley, Fort Meade, UPS, CarMax Laurel, and many more who have helped us repaint the interiors, power wash the exterior, repaint the porches, clean the yards, and much more at various residential programs. Last year we were gifted with 98 pieces of furniture from Bob’s Discount Furniture, which had a significant impact on the young people’s spirits, staff morale, and the beauty of the residences. We were also gifted with a kitchen renovation and yard improvements at Kemp Mill Group Home by Coakley Williams.
The goal of Hearts & Homes for Youth is to empower youth who have been abused, neglected or experienced other trauma to make positive life choices and build brighter futures. With the help of donations from supporters, we are better able to provide the best quality of care for youth.
This home provides a structured, rigorous, and goal-oriented program for young men ready to embark as independent, mature community members. With professional staff providing 24-hour supervision and behavioral role modeling, this program provides the consistency and continuity that allows our young men to develop skills necessary to become productive, responsible, and engaged community members.
