WAYS TO SUPPORT

Become a Food & Hygiene Pantry Champion: Our Pantry plays an important role in the well-being of JASMYN youth, particularly those who are experiencing homelessness, but we are struggling to keep up with the demand. Help us address this critical need by serving as a Pantry Champion, a meaningful and direct way to assist JASMYN youth. Bring your friends, family and colleagues together to hold a big, beautiful month-long drive for JASMYN, then we’ll set a date for you and your crew to deliver the items and fill up the Pantry. Contact Liz to reserve your month: development@jasmyn.org

Over the Rainbow Fundraiser and the JASMYN Safe Place Campaign: Join our family by investing in the future for JASMYN youth and helping to build our Yellow Brick Road. Visit the Safe Place Page and donate today!

Clothing Donations: JASMYN is partnering with Kamala's Kloset to provide clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. to JASMYN youth. We no longer accept donations of used clothing, etc. at the JASMYN campus and we’re referring supporters with these items to Kamala's Kloset. This gender-affirming clothing closet resource provides transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people access to clothing and accessories within a safe space, helping to ease anxiety and dysphoria often experienced in retail stores. Items are free to those in need.

• Kamala’s Kloset accepts masculine and feminine clothing, shoes, accessories, and new/unopened makeup.

• All clothing donations must be in “NEW OR GENTLY USED” condition, washed, ironed, and on hangers.
