J. Jill spotlights York Street Project in a National Advertising Campaign

York Street Project and J. Jill have a close relationship. Through the J. Jill Compassion Fund, YSP has received more than $100,000 in operational support of our programs. In addition, YSP has received tens of thousands of dollars worth of new and gently used clothing from local J. Jill stores. We were humbled to be selected as a feature in the J. Jill Come Together campaign. Our Executive Director, Susanne Byrne, and Board Member, Amelia Rideau, share the impact YSP achieves through generous partners like the J. Jill Compassion Fund. You can also see See and Amelia in print in the Fall catalog and in area stores.

The Birthday Party Project selects York Street Project as a new partner agency

The Birthday Party Project is a national organization dedicated to spreading joy to children in homeless shelters through the magic of birthdays. TBPP throws a special themed party once a month for every child at YSP and will provide a special birthday treat for those with a birthday in that month. If you are interested in volunteering for the parties or learning more about TBPP, visit www.thebirthdaypartyproject.org.

Our Golf Outing was a Big Success!

The 19th Annual Event raises over $140,000 for YSP programs.

The golf is always fun, but the highlight of the event were the testimonial stories shared by Ashley and Kenyaetta. Kenyaetta is a former program participant of YSP and has turned her life to one filled with success in the corporate world at Pershing LLC. Recently, Kenyaetta joined the YSP Board of Directors.

Ashley is a current housing program participant and her children are enrolled in our early-childhood development center program. She is in the beginning stages of her journey to success. We thank them for their courage and strength to share their stories and for their willingness to show others that a life that experiences poverty does not mean it is a life that is stuck in poverty.
