Gifts of our time, talents, and money to those in need are an important part of the life of First Congregational Church.
June Outreach The Volunteers of America in Salt Lake City has a variety of programs that they offer. One program is for homeless teens. Through their Street Outreach Program, they’re able to gain the trust of these youth and offer much needed services at VOA’s Youth Resource Center for homeless teens. At first, teens may come to the Youth Resource Center for a shower, to do laundry, or get some food. But once trust is built, the VOA can serve them in more meaningful ways. The VOA staff can work with the teens to explore what led to homelessness and to offer services to help teens to transform their lives. Each year, they serve about 800 teens through this facility. They offer emergency shelter beds, 24/7 assistance, three meals a day and free legal services through our Homeless Youth Legal Clinic. They also offer programs dedicated to education assistance, job training, counseling, and volunteer run groups.
