Thank you to @MCOhio Montgomery County, Ohio for honoring one of our founders, Evangeline Lindsley, during National Women's Month yesterday. Without her courage and compassion for youth in need, we would not still be serving the community 46 years later.

Thank you to @ConAgraFoodsInc from Troy, Ohio, for donating over 3,500 individual frozen meals. We were able to share the large donation with @TheFoodDayton. #workingtogether#daytonstrong#homelessyouth

Thank you to What’s Poppin’ for the popcorn donation for our youth! This will go great for movie time and staying warm in the shelter. #givingback#daytonstrong#homelessyouth
