Everyone can play a role in preventing exploitation!
We deeply appreciate your interest in supporting Freedom Forward and the HYPE Center! Your contribution supports our mission to prevent commercial sexual exploitation of youth and create a future where all young people thrive. Whether it’s through financial support, in-kind donations, or clothing contributions, your generosity helps us sustain our work and create a lasting impact on the lives of youth in our community.
Financial Support
Your financial support helps keep Freedom Forward’s work going strong! Every dollar you give goes directly to our programmatic expenses benefitting youth and reducing exploitation.
Freedom Forward is a registered nonprofit, so your gift is also tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
In-Kind Donations
Want to purchase something that will benefit youth directly? Check out our registry of essentials and wishlist items for our HYPE Center! This includes on-site resources like food and hygiene items, community building games, cold weather supplies, and other needs that our members have raised. Every contribution helps provide the resources and environment that young people need to succeed.
Clothing Donations
HYPE Center’s Boutique offers our youth members new and gently used clothing, so they can always feel their best. We regularly accept clothing donations from our supporters during HYPE’s drop-in hours.
Below are some pointers for clothing donations.
New and gently used items are accepted.
HYPE serves all genders and sizes - we strive to be inclusive so nothing is too big or small.
Please wash gently used items before donating.
