My House

My House MY House is a homeless and at-risk youth drop in center located in Wasilla, Alaska. Our philosophy is to offer a hand up, not a hand out.
(221)

We provide job training, housing, meal assistance, transportation, mental health services, and more to youth between the ages of 14 and 25! We are a unique non-profit that operates several for-profit ventures that offer employment and training you youth age 16-24, with preference given to homeless youth, and the goal of offering financial support back to the organization to support operating costs and services. Youth coming for services are expected to work toward goals and make progress, accept help to remove barriers, and identify challenges personally that keep them from being successful. Our Gathering Grounds Café is open to the public from 6am-4pm, and trains baristas as well as bakers and sous chefs. The Café also offers a supper program for homeless youth from 3-4pm, hosted by community members who enjoy a meal with the youth. We use local and Alaskan made products whenever possible: Havemeister Dairy milk, Alaska Chip Company potato chips, Alaska Roastery coffee products, Summit Spice and Tea company tea, and a local supplier for Coke products. Behind the Café is a drop in center for homeless youth, with food, clothing, showers and laundry opportunities. Employment services are available on site through Nine Star, a partner provider who also helps with high school completion and GED programs. Another partner business offers car detailing, and employs additional youth. In summer months we also operate a Garden business, selling hanging flower baskets, potted flowers and vegetables to the public. Coming soon is a Steampunk themed thrift store specializing in teen clothing and employing and training more youth. Our case management services include a large referral network for off-site opportunities, Covenant House services for shelter, and caring and efficient staff in house who can assist with a variety of solutions for homeless youth. Our services include opportunities to recover identification, get a drivers license and obtain transportation to job interviews, counseling or evaluation, and legal appointments.

PLEASE SHARE!!

The colder days are settling in, and we’re seeing more young people coming through our doors who need a warm place to be, something to eat, or just a little extra help getting through the day.

That also means our pantry is moving quickly.

We use grab-and-go items every day for youth at the Drop-In Center, but they also go with us into the community for food packs, outreach, and youth who may not have reliable access to a meal.

Right now, we could really use:

• Tuna packets, jerky, meat sticks, or other easy protein options
• Fruit snacks
• Individual chips, Goldfish, pretzels, or cookies
• Trail mix packets
• Individual peanut butter or cheese crackers
• Applesauce or pudding cups/pouches
• Granola bars

We’re also running low on a few essentials:

• Men’s XL & XXL boxers or boxer briefs
• Women’s size medium underwear
• Men’s deodorant, travel or full size

For food donations, individually packaged and easy-to-open items are especially helpful.

As the weather gets colder, having these basics on hand means we can say yes when a young person walks through our doors or we meet someone who needs us out in the community.

Donations can be dropped off at the MY House Drop-In Center. Thank you for helping us keep the shelves stocked for our youth.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing where to start.

Whether you need help with housing, employment, recovery support, basic needs, or just someone who can help you figure out the next step, MY House is here.

You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you walk through the door. Start with us, and we’ll help you figure out where to go from there.

Knowing where to go can change everything.

Motivational Monday 💙

“May the journey back to yourself be a quiet act of defiance against every version of you that was built for someone else’s comfort.”

Keep growing. Keep becoming. Keep finding your way back to you.
