First Place for Youth is gathering Holiday Gifts for Solano County foster youth (18-25) enrolled in our My First Place™ program which assists in their transition out of foster care to thriving, independent adulthood.

Gift List items are those requested by youth and, for those who are young parents, their children. Personal gifts turn apartments into homes, help achieve career/education goals and enrich lives. Most importantly, your gifts remind youth that they are cared for and supported by the community.

DELIVER GIFTS BY DECEMBER 16th
----------------------------------------------------
Donations must be received by **December 16th** for distribution prior to the Holiday Break. Contact Lauren Chiarulli (lchiarulli@firstplaceforyouth.org) or (510) 924-0401 for questions, monetary donations or to otherwise celebrate our youth during the holidays.
