Purchasing an item from our Amazon wishlist is a great way to directly help homeless LGBTQ+ youth. All purchased items go directly to a young person who is in immediate need. From basic necessities like socks and underwear to helpful tools like GED testing books, professional clothing, or housewares, your gift will help a vulnerable youth survive and thrive.
Clothing Donations
AFC does not accept used clothing donations, but we are happy to accept new items from our Amazon wishlist.
Studies have found that LGBTQ+ youth comprise up to 40% of the homeless youth population in New York City. LGBTQ+ street youth experience greater levels of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking violence, trauma, HIV infection, mental health issues, and substance abuse than their non-LGBTQ+ and cisgender counterparts in the homeless youth population.
