Things We Need at Open Arms Youth Center

The Open Arms Youth Center is currently setting aside space to serve as a food pantry and emergency clothing specifically for teens in our community. We know that not all of our children have regular access to quality food and clothing. We are asking for donations of food and clothing to build this resource for our community’s teens.

The items below are things that we are currently looking to purchase or accepting donations for.

If it is convenient you can find some items on Amazon and have them shipped directly to Open Arms.
