Sasha Bruce is on a mission to end youth homelessness! They provide safe homes, life skills, workforce development, and prevention services to more than 10,000 young people and their families each year.

​

Sasha Bruce’s emergency housing programs and drop-in centers have remained open throughout the pandemic, providing survival services and housing with supportive services for homeless youth. The pandemic continues to disproportionally impact our city’s most vulnerable residents, and they need your support. 

​

Here is how you can help:

​

• Help a young person move into their first home
  Supplies are needed for housing programs as young people arrive with little or nothing. Visit their Amazon Wish List for the most up-to-date needs. 

​

• Sponsor a Birthday (Project Joy) or Sunday Supper
  Three programs host monthly birthday celebrations (Project Joy). Offer to volunteer to sponsor birthday celebrations by baking or buying a cake or cupcakes.
  
  Sunday suppers at the Drop-in Center bring people together for a family-style meal. Volunteers can participate by preparing and/or delivering a home-cooked meal. Contact info@sashabruce.org if you’re interested. Dates that are available to sign up for these activities can be found at sashabruce.vomo.org.
   

• Volunteer
  Volunteering at Sasha Bruce provides groups and individuals the opportunity to have a powerful and positive impact on the lives of young people and families in DC and Prince George’s County, MD. Both one-time experiences and ongoing positions are available. Visit www.sashabruce.org/volunteer for the most up-to-date opportunities.

​

Sign up for Project Joy at https://sashabruce.vomo.org/project/projectjoybirthdays

​

Sunday Suppers are at the Drop in Center for 35-40 people experiencing homelessness. They occasionally schedule this as a group activity; however, individuals can sign up for a date. Contact the organizer, Leigh Bailey, at lbailey@sashabruce.org and specify the Giving Together connection or go to Sashabruce.vomo.org

 

Another need:

Youth and young families in Sasha Bruce programs struggle to purchase food and basic household supplies. Some of those items are on their new Amazon Wishlist.

​

Similar items could be purchased anywhere and dropped off or shipped to the Administrative offices.
