Requesting Donations
 
YoungMoms inspires and equips local teen moms to build thriving futures for themselves and their families. Teen moms often face significant challenges: incomplete education, poverty, single parenthood, depression, isolation and a general lack of options and opportunities. Through individual and group support services, YoungMoms helps young mothers overcome obstacles, complete school, find jobs in the community, learn to parent effectively and gain valuable life skills. 
 
Participants earn ‘YoungMoms bucks” throughout the year as they achieve goals and attend program activities. The Christmas Shopping Event, offers them a wonderful opportunity to use the “bucks” they have earned to purchase Christmas gifts for their children and to provide much needed items for their families. This year our event will be held on Friday December 3rd, 2021. Gifts and gift cards available at the shopping event are generously donated by members of the community. 
 
Please consider donating  $25 gift cards to either Walmart or Giant and join us in empowering teen moms in our community. Your generosity will bless a young family this Christmas. 
 
Donations of gift cards can be dropped off to the church and Janine will deliver or you can deliver directly to YoungMoms at 111 Marshall Street, Kennett Square, PA. or mailed to YoungMoms, P.O. Box 376, Kennett Square, PA 19348.
