As director of Youth In Crisis, I would like to inform
you about my organization and ask for your support for our upcoming
special event.  The 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout will be held at
Walker’s Park   

Youth In Crisis is a non-profit organization dedicated
to help youth who are in danger of becoming victims to violence and the
other pitfalls that often confront them.  Many of our young people,
particularly the young men, are at the point of becoming an endangered
species. Youth In Crisis has worked hard to help de-escalate gang
violence, misdemeanor crime, drug abuse and domestic violence through
intervention and prevention. We are also advocates for troubled youth
in the schools and court system. Current work focuses on increased
neighborhood safety, outreach to youth, street patrols to talk to youth
who are hanging out and invite them into youth groups, and identifying
funding to increase our impact.

Youth In Crisis needs donations, resources and your
support to help make the 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout  a
success.  The Food for Thought Cookout has always been a day of fun,
games and togetherness for our surrouding communities and a opporunity
to promote unity and  the concept that we really are all one big
family.  As a supporter of this vital mission you will have signed on
to help shape and mold the minds of many young people who need our
help.  We have considerable success up to this point but know that we
can extend our reach and do more if we are able to reach out to people
who want to help us make a positive cjange in our neighborhoods and
save our children
