Dear Friends: We couldnt let this season of joy and giving pass without sending you our deepest gratitude and wishing you Happy Holidays! May your home be filled with much good cheer and warmth. The holidays can be an emotional time for many people for many reasons. We work hard at Avenues to ensure our youth have as much joy as is possible. On most days here, the kitchen is the heart of Avenues. Everyone ends up in the kitchen! Often, youll find youth counselors and our kids huddled together whipping up a big hot meal for these cold evenings. This holiday week, youth and staff have planned a special meal of turkey, ribs, mash potatoes and greens. Were sure there will be much laughter in the kitchen and around the table. But our Minneapolis kitchen has seen better days and the old stove is on its last legs! Your financial gifts help Avenues support over 100 youth every single day. With your help, we provide our youth with a warm safe place to sleep, new blankets and bed sheets, showers with shampoo and body wash, nice clothes for job interviews, a computer lab for homework and three nutritious meals every day. Your gift provides youth with 24 hour support and guidance by our staff. And your gifts help check-off Avenues wish list of necessities and cover the cost of those bigger items people dont usually donate...like a commercial-grade stove and dish sanitizer. At the end of every year, Avenues has the good fortune to be the recipient of many charitable donations. It is so inspiring to receive these gifts, many of which arrive with a stirring note wishing our youth and staff a happy holiday. Please send your gift today and help make our young peoples holidays merrier! Click the link below to make an online gift today.
