YOUTH ON THEIR OWN

TWOQC members who attended the 2018 YOTO Spring Luncheon

Youth On Their Own would like to invite you to join them at their annual Spring Luncheon March 20th at the Tucson Convention Center! Together, they will be celebrating the incredible hard work and dedication of the thousands of students, liaisons, volunteers, and donors who have made YOTO’s work possible.

The event will include lunch and an hour-long program featuring stories from students and alumni, as well as a vocal performance from a recent YOTO graduate now attending the University of Arizona.

Please join in celebrating the positive change that YOU, as a member of the YOTO Family, have made in our community!

Homeless & Hospitalized Veterans

The VA would very much appreciate receiving winter weight clothing for both women and men. The need for travel-sized toiletries continues throughout the year. Because our next program is the Fashion Show, we ask that you do not bring donations for the VA to that event. Items may be left at Laura Colbert’s house, 2040 E Cypress Canyon Drive. or at Peggy McGee’s, 1908 E Longspur Place. If you leave items, please indicate if you want a receipt for tax purposes along with your name, address, phone number and approximate value of your donation.
