BACK-TO-SCHOOL COMMUNITY EVENT:
We need your help fulfilling a wish list of backpacks and school supplies for our youth at Youth and Family Center of McHenry County (YFC).
Each year YFC hosts a backpack drive where an average of 100-150 students register and receive back to school support. Today, YFC was told that due to unpredicted circumstances and sponsorship scarcity, there are currently 55 unsponsored registered youth.
Donations must be completed by Thursday August 4th. We are so grateful for any support that you are able to provide to set these kids up for a successful school year!
If you choose to donate on our site please know all donations received from now until August 3rd at 12pm will be used to purchase school supplies for youth in our community. These supplies will be distributed for those students that registered for backpacks already at our Back-To-School Community Event on August 5, 2022 and at our August 8th and 9th Back-to-School Drive open to the public at a first come first serve basis.
Our Back-to-School Drive will be open on August 8th from 10am to 6pm and August 9th from 12:30pm to 6pm located here at our center.
Thank you for your generosity!
If this is your first time visiting our site or hearing of us, welcome and please take some time to see details of the wonderful YFC 2022 Summer Program that is currently running.
Testimonials
What do our clients say?
“YFC is more than just a safe place for me to hang out, receive homework help and learn about important resources. It has been the place I turn to when I need additional support, when things go wrong, when I feel lost, and when I need guidance in my life. The center gives me hope and has taught me to never give up.”
