In-Kind Gifts & Angel Network
Each year Alexander Youth Network serves more than 5,000 children with, or at high risk of, serious emotional and behavioral problems. The children who come to Alexander are often in need of basic items such as toiletries, shoes, and undergarments, to name just a few. Our Foundation manages, year-round in-kind donations, and our Holiday Giving Drive, Angel Network, to help us ensure that each child has the clothing, supplies, and personal items necessary to feel safe and secure as they heal.

Angel Network
During the holidays we have our largest annual in-kind donation collection, the Angel Network. This wonderfully rewarding effort provides businesses, organizations, clubs, and individuals the opportunity to make the season a little brighter for a child in need. Toys, games, and books are often on the holiday wish lists from our kids, but we also request donations of necessities such as winter jackets, boots, and sweaters.
