The Link Holiday Gift Drive for Teens!

Make this holiday season special! Many of the youth we serve are living in poverty, and their parents are unable to afford the holiday gifts. Very often these older youth are overlooked from the traditional gift giving programs and would receive nothing without the support of these efforts. Help us make this season special for the youth residing at our homeless youth housing facility and the youth who participate in our other programs.

Donations are accepted now through December 12th.
Please contact Tim Reneau-Major at 612-767-4470 for more information or to schedule a pick-up.

You can help by purchasing gifts for Teen ages 12 and Up. Gift suggestions include:
  • Gift Certificates (fast food, movies, Target, clothing stores, malls, etc.)
  • Cell Phone Pay Cards
  • DVD's
  • Playing Cards
  • Sporting Goods
  • Video Games
  • Crafts
  • Cosmetic cases and cosmetics
  • Hats and Gloves
  • Batteries
  • And anything else youth enjoy!

My Story

Success
I am a 17 year old transgender youth. I am much more successful living on my own than with my mom, even though we still have a good relationship. I was staying in a youth shelter before I came to live here, at Lindquist. I am finishing up my junior credits at a public high school, looking for a job, and am constantly entertaining the staff and residents at Lindquist!!
