Carry On
Teen / Young Adult Free Store
Open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10-2
Through the Carry On Program, our teen/young adult store serves older foster youth and former foster youth who have aged-out or otherwise transitioned out of the foster care system. The goal of Carry On is to provide these youth with tangible goods and tools to help them become successful, contributing members of the community. We provide furniture, bedding, kitchen and bath essentials, small appliances, cleaning and laundry supplies, basic tools, hygiene and first aid items, home décor, clothing, shoes, and career wear at absolutely NO COST! On average, each client receives approximately $4500 in items for their new apartment. This serves to alleviate the initial cost of independence for former foster youth and gives them them the freedom to begin adulthood with the things they need. Through our Co-Pilot mentorship program, youth are able to build a strong and safe relationship with a mentor to help guide them through the challenges and successes of independent living. We also offer HiSET Scholarships for those who would like to earn their GED, and enrollment/scholarship assistance for those who would like to attain higher education or trade/tech school. The teen/young adult store is located at 538 W Reed Street and is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10-2.
Our fabulous volunteers and Co-Pilots work with youth to secure safe and permanent housing, receive their GED, apply for college or trade school, build interview and job skills, find employment, navigate the healthcare system and community resources, and ensure they have a positive adult relationship.
