Help Us Keep Local Youth Warm and Fueled
Snack Drive
Every day, children, teens and young adults participate in Identity programs after school and in the evenings. A healthy snack can make the difference between being able to focus and feeling distracted by hunger.
Unfortunately, most of our out-of-school-time program funding does not cover food costs. But that's where our community can help.
We are currently collecting shelf-stable, individually packaged snacks to ensure that no young person goes hungry while participating in our programs. Donations of unopened snacks such as granola bars, crackers, or trail mix and other nutritious items are greatly appreciated.
Snack donations can be dropped off or delivered to Identity, 620 East Diamond Ave., Suite K, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 during regular business hours. Every donation contributes to a welcoming and supportive environment where young people can learn, grow and thrive. To arrange a snack drop-off, please contact us at development@identity-youth.org.
Winter Coat Drive
As colder weather approaches, we are also preparing for our annual Winter Coat Drive to help children, youth and families stay warm and safe throughout the season.
From November 16 through December 3, we will be collecting new or gently used coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves and other winter-weather essentials for clients of all ages.
Winter wear donations can be dropped off or delivered to 620 East Diamond Ave., Suite K, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 during regular business hours during the collection period.
Additional details about donation hours and distribution plans will be shared in the coming weeks.
Organize a Drive
Want to make an even bigger impact?
Consider organizing a snack or coat drive at your workplace, school, faith community or among family and friends. Community-led drives help us collect the resources needed to support hundreds of local children and families.
