“BUILD WITH BLUE COATS!” As you may already know from previous blogs and news/media stories about YBC, YBC has moved! This is very exciting, and timely news! As of April 1^st, YBC is  located in the RTW facility at 2654 North Main Street in Hubbard. We are growing and expanding from 2,400 to 12,000 square feet, and we do need this additional space. YBC was founded in 2017 and since that time has grown greatly in many ways; for example, and most importantly, the numbers of homeless—veterans and other homeless individuals—that we serve have increased significantly. There are many reasons for this, including the pandemic and its consequences; the economy; and more. The numbers of agencies and other organizations with which we partner have increased also; the numbers of warming items (coats, boots, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, sleeping bags, tents, and more) that we receive as donations plus those warming items we must buy in order to serve all those in need have increased as we continue to serve more homeless annually and, of course, need storage; and more. Our distribution bus will be able to be housed indoors in this building and thus protected from weather when not in use. There are so many wonderful advantages to our new location. And, YOU can help us continue to grow and thrive and support this move and new facility. “BUILD WITH BLUE COATS!”  YOU can donate on our website: www.ytownbluecoats.org.
