Tumbleweed Upcoming Fall Fundraiser

The Tumbleweed upcoming fall fundraiser is coming up Oct. 8 at the the Billings Hotel and Convention Center.

This fundraising event will raise money to extend the operations of Tumbleweed’s Drop-in Center.  This expansion will provide homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth in our community a safe place to go at night for respite time instead of the alternative on the street or somewhere unsafe.

The Hope Drop-in Center is a safe place youth can congregate and receive recreational, educational and counseling/case management services. Each year, Tumbleweed helps more than 1,000 youth ages 10 to 24 in crisis who are homeless, at risk or about to run away due to severe family conflict.

Tumbleweed has a Street Outreach program where we meet with kids who are living on the streets—to offer support and build trusting relationships to get them off the streets.  But often times, there simply is no safe place for them to go. These are the kids that people have given up on.  The drop-in center will provide an environment where bonds can be formed, traumatic pasts confronted and their promising future realized: where homeless and at-risk youth can escape the streets.

We offer food, clothing, case management, internet access, hygiene/first aid supplies, group activities, and life skills classes.  Kids should not be raising themselves but it is happening in our community right now.

Please consider taking part in the Tumbleweed Fall Fundraiser on Oct. 8.
