Cash for Kids week in LA
During the week of March 25-31st three restaurants and one high fashion boutique partnered together by participating in the first annual Los Angeles Youth Network’s (LAYN) Cash for Kids week. The idea of this event was: the cash used to pay fees at the joining businesses were redirected and donated to LAYN. LAYN provides a variety of needs and services to homeless and runaway youth ages 12-21. The funds that were raised went toward LAYN being able to continue to provide services such as: emergency shelter, hot meals, street outreach, case management, daily hygiene and family reunification. Here at CA Homeless Youth Project we strive to make sure that services and resources such as LAYN remain available for youth faced with homelessness. This is a good example of how non-profits can partner with local businesses to increase funding in lean times and better support homeless youth in our state.
