Allies in Youth Development
Give Hope Collection Drive

Host a Collection Drive. Change Lives.

Through Allies in Youth Development, caring volunteers are reaching orphaned and vulnerable children in more than 90 countries around the world through the Allies Mentoring Program. Each month, in-country mentors visit children to provide friendship, encouragement, life skills, educational support, and humanitarian aid. For many children, even basic necessities like soap, school supplies, shoes, or warm clothing are difficult to access.

That’s where you can help.

Hosting a collection drive is more than gathering items — it’s an opportunity to bring your church, school, business, family, or community together to make a real difference for orphaned and vulnerable children around the world. Every donation becomes a practical expression of love, hope, and care.
