The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth

The NPHY is my favorite charity. Homeless children in the ages of 18 and below find hope when they reach this wonderful place. They give them, food, water, shelter, help them stay in school, and even help them plan for their future. I love their generosity and how much they care.

Here is a link to their website for more information

Wish List

Kids at the NPHY make a wishlist for what the want more of. While shopping for school, you can use this to buy an extra pair of something (they need all sizes and types of new clothing), or an extra school supply and donate it.

Here is a list of always needed items:
-bottled water
-white cotton socks
-underwear (boxer-briefs for guys)
-small hand sanitizer
-band aids (travel size packages)

Here is a link for a detailed wishlist

Last Day To Turn In Items: Aug 15

The last day to turn in donations is August 15. The day after that is when I turn everything in. =)

Thanks for the great first week of my project! I'm looking forward to the next weeks of my project.

My Exprience

Earlier today, I dropped off the food and water that I got because it was filling up our house a little much. We walked up to the NPHY drop off center and told the secretary we had some things to drop off. Everyone was so excited and had a smile on their faces. I felt proud for what I did. These kids really need the help and are so happy when they get it.

Tips

Thanks to all who gave donations today! I also learned some tips about deals in some stores.

-At Walgreens, backpacks are buy one for $10 and get the rest half off! So backpacks are $5 each.

-Smith's has drinks 10 for $10!

-The Dollar Store has dictionaries for $1!
