Make a R.E.A.L Impact Today

Every dollar helps us reach youth on the edge of survival.

In-Kind Donations are Welcome

Not everyone gives with a card — some give with what they have. At St Claire Family Homes, we gratefully accept in-kind donations that support our outreach and day-to-day operations. Whether you're an individual, business, or community partner, your contributions make a real impact.

Items we currently need include:

  • Office supplies: paper, pens, clipboards, folders, ink, whiteboards

  • Tech equipment: laptops, tablets, portable chargers, printers, Wi-Fi hotspots, gently used smartphones

  • Outreach materials: hygiene kits, toiletry items, first aid supplies, snacks, bottled water

  • Educational support: backpacks, school supplies, notebooks, calculators

  • Program support: bus passes, gas cards, gift cards for food or essentials

  • Printing or media services to support marketing and fundraising efforts

Have something to give?
Email us at info@stclairefamilyhomes.org to coordinate a drop-off, pick-up, or custom support.

Let your resources help build futures.

Why give?

  • Because not every kid has someone who shows up.

    Your donation puts trained outreach workers in the lives of youth facing homelessness, violence, and system failure.

  • Because this grows when you invest.

    Your support helps us expand R.E.A.L Outreach — train more staff, feed more youth, and turn presence into impact.

  • Because help delayed is help denied.

    We respond fast. We show up where youth are — schools, streets, shelters, wherever they’re slipping through the cracks.

Want to Do More Than Donate?

We're building a national movement — and we need people with hustle, passion, and purpose. If you're interested in helping us raise funds and expand our impact, you can apply to become a Fundraising Associate.

 FAQs

  • We serve youth ages 5–21 who are experiencing housing instability, school disengagement, system involvement, or survival-mode living. This includes foster youth, probation youth, McKinney-Vento students, and those who are disconnected from support systems.
