Help Stock Yoto’s Mini-Mall

Homeless students enrolled in the Yoto program may visit the “Mini-Mall” once a week for up to 10 lbs. of food, clothing, toiletries, and school supplies. The Mini-Mall is 100% stocked through the generosity of the community but they are sadly running low on several key items.

If you would like to help, the list of key items in need can be accessed by clicking on the ✔checkmark. Items may be brought to the Oct. 31 brunch next Monday.
