Earlier in November, the Milestone community, our young adults, staff, community partners, and members of the Youth Action Board came together for our annual Friendsgiving celebration.

Milestone is a transitional living program for youth experiencing homelessness, that strives to create not just stability, but a true sense of belonging. Friendsgiving is one of the ways we build community, connection, and moments of joy together.

Everyone brought a side dish to share, creating a homemade meal filled with care, collaboration, and gratitude.

We’re thankful for the resilience of our youth, the dedication of our team, and the support that makes gatherings like this possible.

Our Youth Services staff is wearing green today for Wear Green Day, part of Youth Homelessness Outreach, Prevention, and Education (HOPE) Month. 💚

Each year, 4.2 million young people nationwide experience homelessness or severe housing instability, and the impact can be long-lasting. HOPE Month brings organizations and communities together to support youth and share resources.
