Giving Tree 2023
Every year before the Holidays, young people request items that would make a difference for them, and help them achieve their goals!
​​
We add the gifts that young people request to our Amazon Wishlist, as well as handwritten on tags distributed to businesses, and coordinate with all of you.
You purchase the gifts and get them to us. We sort and match them, and deliver the gifts to
the young people that
requested them.
Drop-In and Shelter
With the arrival of cold weather, Friends of Youth welcomes
young adults, ages 18 - 24, to
the Landing in Redmond for emergency shelter and a warm, safe place to rest.
The Landing is located at
16101 NE 87th Street, Suite 110, Redmond, WA 98052. Call or
text 425.449.3868 for more information.
The Landing Shelter will operate from 9:00pm to 8:00am every day. The Landing Drop-In will operate from 9:00am to 2:00pm and 3:00 to 8:00pm every day.
Friends of Youth welcomes, honors, and celebrates our clients, colleagues and communities’ diverse identities, histories, knowledges, languages, and cultures. Our organizational values shape the way we work individually and collectively, as we prioritize young people’s belonging and achievement. We work to challenge, alter, and ultimately dismantle interconnected systems of structural and historic oppression. We collaborate with community stakeholders and partners to develop policy and decision-making frameworks that advance racial equity.
