Palo Verde Neighborhood Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive For Youth on Their Own (YOTO)
Youth On Their Own (YOTO) is a dropout prevention program that supports the high school graduation and continued success of youth experiencing homelessness in Pima County.
During the month of November, the Palo Verde Neighborhood Association runs a food drive to help our neighborhood support YOTO and the many students who use their services.
Last year we collected a little over 600 pounds of food and essential items to YOTO. Help us double – or triple – that amount this year. Drop-off locations listed below.
Donate now through November 19!
