Every Dollar Counts

Although LIFE Skills has made dramatic improvements in the services available to homeless and vulnerable youth, the reality is that we still have to turn away more young people than we serve. With the number of Triangle youth in foster care rising rapidly, this situation is only going to get worse. Every donation* makes a difference. 

Here are some of the ways your donations help:

  • $5,000 = housing for one year

  • $1,000 = 16 counseling sessions

  • $500 = full course of independent living classes

  • $250 = one month of groceries

*LIFE Skills is a tax exempt organization under section 510(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
