How Can I Help?

Without your support, FYC couldn't continue to work with the children and families of our community. We rely on the generosity of those who understand that providing quality programming is an investment in the future of our youth. You can help by donating to FYC.

WORKPLACE GIVING

MATCHING GIFTS

We encourage your participation in matching gifts programs offered by many employers. If your employer has a matching gifts program, the Franciscan Youth Center greatly benefits because each dollar you give is matched by your employer, at no additional cost to you. We encourage you to inquire with your company’s Human Resource Director for information about your company’s program.

IN KIND DONATIONS

FYC is always in need of new computers and technology. We also need new unused school supplies, coats, backpacks, and clothes so that we’ll them available for children and families in need. During the holidays, we collect new unused toys and distribute them to our students. To make an in-kind donation, contact Sasha Batts at sasha.batts@fycbaltimore.org.
