From Kalisha’s Desk—November Edition

Youth Emergency Services (YES) is recognizing National Homeless Youth Awareness Month for November. Your support throughout November and beyond helps YES to continue our mission and expand services to address the needs of young people in crisis as youth homelessness continues to rise. On behalf of YES, I ask you to show your support for homeless youth in your corner of the community.

Support Our Youth and Fowl for YES
Every eight minutes, a youth experiences homelessness*. For just $8, you can help YES support Omaha’s homeless youth when you attend our “Fowl for YES” fundraiser at The Fowling Warehouse THIS Saturday, November 9!

Fowl for YES
November 9, 2024 | 12:00-7:00 p.m.
The Fowling Warehouse
5585 N 90th Street
Omaha, NE 68134

I encourage you to attend an afternoon of fowling fun (bowling with a football), wear green to show your support for homeless youth, and spread the word about YES. Together, we can provide homeless youth with the resources they need to thrive.
