Palmetto Place
WHAT IS PALMETTO PLACE?
Palmetto Place provides transitional housing to homeless teens ages 16-21 that includes support services like independent living skills, counseling, medical care, and a positive, supportive environment. Their home has 25 beds and residents are required to either attend school or work at least 32 hours/week while saving 60% of their paycheck.
When they are ready to move out into their own independent, permanent housing, Palmetto Place assists them in finding affordable housing, budgeting, and navigating the entire process. They then transition from the Transitional Housing Program to our Aftercare Program where they continue to receive support for up to 12 months.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Earlewood Baptist Church is proud to be partnering with such a great organization, and we collect a list of household items to donate to each resident to help them as they transition into independent housing. This is by no means an exhaustive list of items that a transitioning resident will need; however, this list was put together with the direction of Palmetto Place in an effort to provide the most useful and cost effective items. Anywhere from 8 to 15 residents transition into independent living each year, and our goal is to provide every one of these transitioning residents with every item on this list (a complete set of items).
You can contact us at: pastor@earlewoodbaptist.org if you want to donate money for items, or you can donate money online by following the "GIVE ONLINE" link at the top of this page... just be sure to select "Palmetto Place Resident Items" as your designation for the donation. We are only accepting monetary gifts at this time; however, we know some people would prefer to purchase items directly, and we are working on a registry of items that you can purchase and will be adding that soon. All gifts are tax deductible.
Our promise is that 100% of money given for this purpose will go directly into purchasing and providing new items to the residents as they transition into independent living.
