A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated luggage and duffel bags to Bellefaire JCB! 💜

Thanks to your generosity, more youth in our Residential Treatment program will have a suitcase of their own to carry their belongings as they transition to their next chapter.

These donations are about so much more than luggage. They remind young people that their belongings matter and that they deserve to move forward with dignity and care.

We are so grateful to our community for showing up for the youth we serve and helping make these transitions a little brighter!

Last week, Rebecca Prather, Senior Director of Bellefaire JCB's Unsheltered, Missing, and Transitional Youth Services (UMTYS), and Aniyah, a UMTYS client, attended the Point Source Youth National Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland. They returned inspired by new insights and ideas to help prevent and end youth and young adult homelessness and strengthen the impact of our Youth Leadership Council.

Both were invited to participate in Point Source Youth’s National Prevention Learning Collaborative (NPLC), following a recommendation from National Network 4 Youth. Over the past six months, Rebecca and Aniyah collaborated with partners at A Place 4 Me and other communities across the country to explore ways to strengthen permanent connections and natural support systems for young people.

We’re grateful for this opportunity to learn, grow, and collaborate with partners who share our commitment to ending youth homelessness. We look forward to building on this work and continuing to elevate the voices of young people in shaping solutions that make a lasting difference.
