My House A homeless youth Drop in center with employment assistance, access to healthcare, mediation, clothing Our philosophy is to offer a hand up, not a hand out.
(223)

We are a unique non-profit that operates several for-profit ventures that offer employment and training you youth age 16-24, with preference given to homeless youth, and the goal of offering financial support back to the organization to support operating costs and services. Youth coming for services are expected to work toward goals and make progress, accept help to remove barriers, and identify challenges personally that keep them from being successful. Our Gathering Grounds Café is open to the public from 6am-4pm, and trains baristas as well as bakers and sous chefs. The Café also offers a supper program for homeless youth from 3-4pm, hosted by community members who enjoy a meal with the youth. We use local and Alaskan made products whenever possible: Havemeister Dairy milk, Alaska Chip Company potato chips, Alaska Roastery coffee products, Summit Spice and Tea company tea, and a local supplier for Coke products. Behind the Café is a drop in center for homeless youth, with food, clothing, showers and laundry opportunities. Employment services are available on site through Nine Star, a partner provider who also helps with high school completion and GED programs. Another partner business offers car detailing, and employs additional youth. In summer months we also operate a Garden business, selling hanging flower baskets, potted flowers and vegetables to the public. Coming soon is a Steampunk themed thrift store specializing in teen clothing and employing and training more youth. Our case management services include a large referral network for off-site opportunities, Covenant House services for shelter, and caring and efficient staff in house who can assist with a variety of solutions for homeless youth. Our services include opportunities to recover identification, get a drivers license and obtain transportation to job interviews, counseling or evaluation, and legal appointments.

We should normalize thrift store gifts. Because one person’s “used” is another person’s “oh my gosh, where did you find this?!” ❤

It’s about thought, charm, and a good story - not the price tag! 🎁

Our annual Thanksgiving dinner for our clients is Wednesday, November 26th! We have done this every year for over a decade, as it provides clients, staff and community partners sit down together in fellowship and thanksgiving with each other and is a huge benefit for the homeless and at-risk youth that we serve. We have a great need for community donors who can provide food for this event this year. We are looking for donations of Turkey's, traditional thanksgiving sides, vegetables and pies. As of now, there are openings in every category. Drop off for Raw and uncooked items like Turkeys is the day prior (November 25th) and drop off for cooked sides and pies is at noon at the 26th. We will begin the meal at 1 PM. It is open to anyone in our age range of 14-25, whether they are a client or not, as well as any partners, volunteers or individuals who bring a dish to share. We would love to see you for this year's thanksgiving! Please call (907)373-4357 to sign up to bring food today!
