YP2F Resource Fair - October 20, 2022

The Young People to the Front campaign, along with CITYPAK and High Sierra is hosting a resource fair for youth experiencing homelessness. Non-profits, coalitions, and other service providers will be tabling at the Robinson Space (104 Robinson Street LA CA 90026) on October 20th at 2:00pm. 

As we approach 100,000 backpacks provided to homeless families and individuals, CITYPAK, High Sierra Mark 10-YEAR Anniversary with Events in LA, Toronto and New York, and this event with Safe Place for Youth marks the beginning of that series of events.

“We are proud and humbled to be celebrating 10 years of CITYPAK. But a milestone is never truly reached in the midst of a rising wealth gap, a national mental health crisis, a growing level of violence and crime affecting the unhoused, and humanitarian disasters around the world,” said Founder, Ron Kaplan. “We will continue to provide custom-made backpacks to those experiencing homelessness or in housing transition - to help them secure and protect their personal belongings, enhance mobility, and hopefully improve their overall quality of life-even just a little bit-under difficult circumstances.”
