Team Danning Gill Partners with My Friend’s Place
Danning Gill was thrilled to partner with My Friend’s Place as part of the firm’s holiday donation drive.
During this Holiday Season, Team Danning Gill contributed backpacks, blankets, socks and snack supplies for the homeless youth served by My Friend’s Place. With the generous support of our employees, friends and family, we were able to provide some warmth and joy to those that need it most.
Each year in the U.S., as many as 2 million youth experience homelessness, and every year more than 5,000 homeless youth lose their lives to the streets. The mission of My Friend’s Place is to assist and inspire homeless youth to build self-sufficient lives. My Friend’s Place started out as a volunteer-based group serving meals from the trunks of cars. Today, My Friend’s Place offers comprehensive services to nearly 1,200 youth experiencing homelessness between the ages of 12 and 25, and their children, each year, helping homeless young people move toward wellness, stability, and self-sufficiency.
Danning Gill is proud to help support such a great organization that is making a difference in our community. If you’re interested in participating in future Team Danning Gill community service projects, please contact Vivian Servin at VServin@DanningGill.com.
