A 26-yard dumpster of yard waste was filled to overflowing. Five TYC residential clients participated in the Food Pantry project of HopeFest. The tremendous community effort was a great benefit to The Youth Campus.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/theyouthcampus/~4/z3kMmSjDypw" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/theyouthcampus/~3/z3kMmSjDypw/2011-09-13.php http://www.theyouthcampus.org/news/2011-09-13.php Join us on October 19, 2011 as The Youth Campus teams up with KaBOOM! and SAP America to build a playground for our Foster Care Village.
