Be a hero to a child this Christmas!
You can be a hero to a child facing devastating hardships this Christmas! Now more than ever, kids right here in the United States need our help. Your gift to Youth Haven will help provide a place of safety and belonging, where their needs will be met and they will be cared for in a fun environment designed for kids. Most importantly, they'll discover the true reason we celebrate Christmas and the love and hope Jesus gives. Please look below to see specific ways you can give to a child in need in our very own communities. Thank you for partnering with us to give children hope this Christmas, and all year long!
Give a hurting child a place to belong
Your monthly gift of $38 will help provide a safe and fun place for kids to learn about God’s love!
Youth Haven is a safe place filled with fun activities for kids who have experienced hardships in their lives. It's a special place where they know they belong. Most importantly, it's a place where they can discover God loves them and created them for a purpose.
You can help make sure kids who aren't being reached with the Gospel anywhere else can learn about Jesus and His love for them! Since the kids we serve aren’t able to pay for their stay with us, we welcome them to our campuses free of charge. Yet costs continue to rise, and we need your help! For just $38 a month or a one-time gift of $450, you can help make it possible for a deserving child to attend an on-site adventure at Youth Haven.
For less than $1.25 a day, you can help cover the cost of a deserving child's stay at Youth Haven and change his or her life forever!
Provide food for a hungry child
Your $35 gift will feed a child and show love in a tangible way!
Many of the kids who come to Youth Haven don’t always get enough to eat at home. Handing those children a plate piled with good food shows them we care about them and assures them this is a place where their needs will be met.
Your gift of $35 will help ensure a hungry child receives plenty of delicious, nutritious food to eat while he or she is at Youth Haven. By meeting this important need, you are showing love to a child in the most practical way!
"For I was hungry, and you fed me, I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink... I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" -Matthew 25:35 & 40
Give an unreached child a Bible
Your gift of $15 or $30 will place a Bible in the hands of a child or teen who may never own another one.
Every child who comes to Youth Haven receives a custom Bible called the Trailbook. Kids can also receive a Trailbook as part of our mail and online ministry. Many of these kids have never owned or read a Bible before, and they aren't hearing biblical truth anywhere else. The Trailbook contains custom pages that help us teach the children to look up verses and use the Bible as a guide for life. In addition, teens who join our "Elevate" discipleship program receive a special study Bible with a custom cover. You can provide a Trailbook for a child with your $15 gift, or a study Bible for a teen with your $30 gift!
Your gift will have an eternal impact on our nation's next generation!
Share God's love with a child at home
Your $30 gift will provide Bible-based materials for a child at home.
Help a child experience Youth Haven at home through our exciting kids’ website and monthly mailings! Each mail piece features engaging Bible stories, activities, and challenges that encourage the children to read the Bible and help them understand what it means for their lives. They can also visit our kids' website to watch videos and follow the adventures of the Youth Haven mascot, Harvey the Moose, with all his friends. As they complete activities and send them back to us, they earn stickers and "Harvey and Friends" stuffed animals!
With your help, children who don't have other opportunities to hear the Gospel can learn about Jesus at home! Your $30 gift will provide a year of monthly mailings and one Harvey & Friends stuffed animal for a child who needs to experience God's love!
Provide toys for deserving kids
Your gift of a new, unwrapped toy will bring joy to a child in need!
You can help give deserving kids in our communities a Merry Christmas by donating a new, unwrapped toy for a child between the ages of 7 and 13. For many of the children we serve, the gifts they receive from Youth Haven are the only ones they'll receive this Christmas. Your gift of a toy will help them feel loved and valued!
Toys may be dropped off at our offices or toy drive drop-off locations in partnership with Family Life Radio. They may also be shipped directly to us.
Please include your name and address so we can thank you with a photo of a child your gift helped!

Send a deserving child a care package
Your $50 gift will send a Christmas care package to a child in need!
You can help us share the love and hope of Jesus with children all over the United States! This Christmas, disadvantaged children can receive a Youth Haven care package filled with snacks, games, toys, hats and gloves, and more! Our care packs include a colorful booklet sharing the story of Jesus' birth and enable us to reach a greater number kids with the Gospel, expanding our mission beyond our on-site programs. Kids all across our nation need hope and love. A care package is a practical way to meet a child's needs and share the love of Jesus with a family that is struggling to make ends meet!
