Host a Donation Drive This Winter for Fenix!

The Homeless Youth Drop-In Center Program raises awareness and meets the needs of homeless youth so they can stay in school and graduate.  According to Kids Count Data Center, Wicomico County is in the top three counties that provide free and reduced school meals to our children and according to the July 2019 HALs report, we have 321 homeless children collectively in the three lower counties. FYP's goals are to provide homeless teens and young adults with housing, basic needs, and services as they make positive choices toward becoming responsible, productive community members. With your help, FYP is helping to bring a positive future to this nearly forgotten population.
