Homeless and Runaway Youth Drive
The Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth is collecting gift cards for our annual Homeless and Runaway Youth Drive.
Why gift cards? Last year, a young 16 year old girl faced the passing of her mother after endearing a difficult illness. Her school had received gift cards from the 2016 CCC&Y drive, and she was offered assistance. She was so excited to have money to purchase clothing and food for her and her cousins from Walmart. She cried and told school staff that no one had ever asked her what she needed in her entire 16 years on this earth.
