You
can give to JFY online through the secure server at givedirect.org,
which charges no fee for processing your gift. Note that the
charge on your credit card will appear as "GiveDirect".
By clicking on the button below, you will open a new window
that takes you to the givedirect.org contribution site. You
can return to the JFY site simply by closing the window.
Also,
if you are a federal or state government employee who’s
eligible to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign/Local
Independent Charities of America workplace giving programs,
you can support JFY with a payroll deduction pledge of as
little as $1.00 per pay period, or as much more than that
as you would like. Just fill out your pledge form with JFY’s
5-digit campaign code: 9 5 3 1 5
The
Jobs For Youth “Client Closet”
In
addition to financial support for JFY’s work, you can
also help with the donation of gently used business attire
for JFY students who do not have clothing suitable for job
interviews. The kinds of clothing we need most include the
following:
| For
Men |
For
Women |
| dress
shirts (especially white) |
dresses |
| dress
slacks |
skirts/slacks |
| leather
belts |
blouses |
| sweaters |

| suits/sportcoats |
suits/blazers |
| dress
shoes |

Guidelines/Suggestions
All clothing donated should be standard business attire, suitable
for wearing to a job interview. As we do not have facilities
for laundering, cleaning, or repairing clothing that is wrinkled,
soiled, stained, or damaged, we ask that all clothing donated
be clean, pressed, and in good condition. Larger sizes, for
both men and women, are harder to come by, and always in greatest
need.
NEW
OPPORTUNITY!
Jobs
For Youth can now accept donations of used vehicles —
cars, trucks, boats, and even airplanes can be donated!
In
addition to making cash contributions online through Local
Independent Charities of America (LIC), now you can also donate
your used vehicle to Jobs For Youth through LIC's new Vehicle
Donation Program.
It's
a terrific Win-Win program.
There
is no cost to you, and no cost to Jobs For Youth.
It
does not matter where you live, as the Vehicle Donation
Program operates in all 50 states.
Your
vehicle will be picked up at your convenience.
If
the auction sale price of your vehicle is less than the
cost of pick-up, preparation, title transfer, and administrative
expenses, the vehicle donation program absorbs the shortfall.
And,
as the I.R.S. requires donors to determine the value of their
in-kind contributions, the site Vehicle Donation Program site
has information and links to resources that will help you
do this in accordance with IRS rules.
To
learn more, just click HERE
or on the Vehicle Donation icon below, and you will be taken
to the vehicle donation site, where you will find all the
information you need.
Or
call toll free at 1-866-332-1778 if you cannot or prefer not
to give via the Internet.
