Eckert Youth Homes

Drumroll please.... 🥁🥁🥁
Back in November, Eckert Outpatient joined a national door decorating contest in support of Red Ribbon Week, themed “Life is a Puzzle - Solve It Drug Free.”
After a couple weeks of voting, we were thrilled to learn that Eckert’s door received the MOST votes in our region - that’s most of the Midwest! 🏆
Even better, we’ve already started planning and collaborating with Williston High School on creative ways to use the prize to enhance education and prevention efforts in our schools. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity and SO excited for what’s ahead!

A huge thank-you to everyone who donated, created, and gave from the heart. 🎁✨ Your kindness didn’t just bring gifts, it brought hope, encouragement, and a warm sense of belonging this holiday season. We’re beyond grateful for a community that shows up with so much love and compassion. 🎄

As the year comes to a close, we’re honored to share our end-of-year letter with you. 💙
Your continued support of Eckert Youth Homes means more than words can express. Because of you, hope is strengthened, lives are changed, and our youth are reminded that they are not alone. Thank you for standing with us throughout this year and for being an essential part of our mission.

If you feel inclined to give, we’ve included a QR code that will take you directly to our website, where you’ll find a “Donate Now” button. Your generosity helps us continue providing care, support, and opportunity to the youth we serve.

Hey friends! 💚❤️
Our residential kids need your help with a very important holiday mission…
Ugly Christmas Sweaters! 🧥✨

We’re collecting Christmas sweaters until Next Monday, December 15th! The cute ones, the funny ones, the “Grandma knitted this at 2am and added googly eyes” ones… ALL of them! 😆

If you have a spare holiday sweater looking for a new home, our youth would love to rock them this season. 🎁💫

Drop-offs can be made by December 15th at our Outpatient Office:
📍 1135 2nd Ave West, Suite 202

Thank you for spreading joy (and questionable fashion choices) this Christmas! 🎄💖

🌟 Eckert is looking for volunteers! 🌟

Do you have a skill or passion you’d love to share? We’re looking for volunteers to help teach our youth new and meaningful skills!

Some fun examples include arts and crafts, music, cooking, or any other creative, hands-on, or educational activity you can share.

Your time and talent can make a lasting impact on our youth by helping them grow, learn, and discover new interests! 💫

If you’re interested in volunteering, please reach out to Ashley Pierce at ashley.pierce@eckertyouth.com or send us a message on here!❤️

🎀 It’s Red Ribbon Week! 🎀
This week, we join schools and communities across the nation to take a stand for a drug-free future. Red Ribbon Week is all about making healthy choices, spreading awareness, and supporting one another in living safe, substance-free lives. ❤️
Let’s keep encouraging our youth to make positive choices and reach their full potential! 💪
