For more than 50 years, Youth Emergency Services (YES) has been a safe haven for young people experiencing homelessness in the Omaha metro—providing stability and a path forward.

Now, YES is offering something more. At 2566 Farnam Street, we are creating a permanent space where young people can find the housing and resources they need, right when they need them.

Thanks to our generous community, the Welcome Home Campaign is nearing the finish line! We need your help to raise $100,000 to open the doors to our new home.

From $25 to $2,500, your donation helps a young person find safety, stability, and a place to land.

$25 supplies a youth with new bedding when they enter our Emergency Shelter. 

$50 pays for a hot meal for 20 youth at our Drop-In Center. 

$100 supplies a youth with one pantry bag, containing 5 shelf-stable meals. 

$250 pays for one stroller and car seat combo for a young mom and child in our care. 

$500 keeps one bed at our shelter open at all times for Safe Place, YES' 24/7 Crisis hotline. 

$1,000* keeps one youth at risk of homelessness off the streets by providing rental assistance.

Your gift today helps ensure each young person who comes to YES has a safe place to land.

* — Annual gifts of this amount or more are eligible to join YES’ new HOME Society—a group of supporters that showcases their commitment to young people’s safety and stability by investing in the long-term future of YES.
