For more than 50 years, Youth Emergency Services (YES) has been there for young people experiencing homelessness in the Omaha metro—offering safety, stability, and support when it matters most.

Now, we’re creating a permanent home at 2566 Farnam Street—a place where youth can access housing and the resources they need to move forward.

We’re close! We need your help to raise $100,000 to open the doors to our new home.

From $25 to $2,500, your donation helps a young person find safety, stability, and a place to land.

$25 supplies a youth with new bedding when they enter our Emergency Shelter. 
$50 pays for a hot meal for 20 youth at our Drop-In Center. 
$100 supplies a youth with one pantry bag, containing 5 shelf-stable meals. 
$250 pays for one stroller and car seat combo for a young mom and child in our care. 
$500 keeps one bed at our shelter open at all times for Safe Place, YES' 24/7 Crisis hotline. 
$1,000* keeps one youth at risk of homelessness off the streets by providing rental assistance.
$1,500* houses 3 youth for one month in our Supported Housing program.

Your gift today helps ensure that YES can keep the door open for youth to find the support they need not just today, but for the tomorrows—and years—to come. Because, with you, we can say to every young person experiencing homelessness: Welcome home.

* — Annual gifts of this amount or more are eligible to join YES’ new HOME Society—a group of supporters that showcases their commitment to young people’s safety and stability by investing in the long-term future of YES.
