The organization’s mobile support service, also known as “the Van” provides a safe warm space for homeless youth to take a break from the street. Operating five nights a week and making four regular stops, the Van provides homeless and at-risk youth meals and bags of non-perishable food, donations of warm clothing and basic necessities, and someone to talk to who can provide connections to further resources.
