Our Mission

Safetynet Children and Youth Charities believes that all people are connected to one another, and if one should fall, it is not without consequence to all. We believe that society’s progress is measured not only by technological and economic advancement, but also by our compassion for those who are facing difficulties and hardships.

We strive to help our clients develop a sense of dignity, and courage of spirit, by providing free access to material needs in a retail-style setting. With those needs accommodated, families who are living in poverty can use their scarce financial resources on housing, food and other essentials.

About Safetynet Children & Youth Charities

At Safetynet Children & Youth Charities, we believe to break the cycle of poverty, families and children must have the basics. For that reason we provide free access to clothing, personal care items, housewares and furniture. Our clothing bank carries clothing for infants, children, youth and adults, including business suits for men our woman who are re-entering the work force and need proper attire for employment interviews. Diapers and menstrual hygiene are available as well.

Safetynet also believes in the value of education, and specifically the role of academic assistance in breaking the cycle of poverty. We provide free one to one academic tutoring for children and youth, who are struggling in school. 

Music lessons are also offered free of charge to families who have a child with an interest in learning to play an instrument.
