Youth Mart is a donation center for young adults under age 26 who have aged out of foster care, have foster care experience, or may be otherwise unconnected.
Partnership 4 Hope empowers young adults aging out of systems of care to build stable, fulfilling lives through mentorship, essential resources, education, and a caring community that ensures they never transition alone. Youth Mart carries household essentials including furniture, kitchen items, housewares, bedding, clothing, food, hygiene items, cleaning product
s, and children’s items/clothing up to size 5T. Young people shop with their case worker from one of our collaborative agencies for items to set up their home. The agencies in our collaboration are Project Everlast, Child Saving Institute, Family Housing Advisory Services, Youth Emergency Services, Central Plains Center for Services, Childrens Square/The Therapy Place (IA), Heartland Family Service, Omaha Home for Boys, State of Nebraska, and Angels Share. Volunteers contribute greatly to the success of Youth Mart. Every week, volunteers sort through donations, acquire donations from community groups, and deliver furniture to the shoppers. We have a dedicated group of regular volunteers and volunteers who drop in periodically. Agencies, companies, and churches are a big part of our group, as well. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering at Youth Mart or with our Truck Brigade, who delivers furniture each week. Youth Mart was started in 2012 through a collaboration of many local non-profits and is now a program of Partnership 4 Hope. All of the household essentials we offer are acquired by donations from our generous community members. To honor and show respect to the young people we serve, we only offer clean items that are ready-to-use. Regular high-need items:
• toilet paper
• vacuums
• body lotion
• new or washed pillows
• toothbrushes and paste
• new or cleaned kitchen trash cans
• floor lamps
• deodorant
• baby wipes
• cleaning supplies (Bathroom cleaner, window cleaner, laundry & dishwasher detergent, dishwashing detergent)
• can openers
• pull-ups
• bras, new socks & underwear
• dressers
• sofas
• dining sets
• microwaves
• mattresses (stain and odor-free)
Donations may be dropped off *by appointment* on Mondays and Fridays. Large items can be scheduled for pick up. Location:

Today, we are deeply grateful for our collaborative agency, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands! This past weekend, our team had the privilege of receiving the award for Community Partner of the Year.
Our united dedication to supporting young individuals as they navigate their transition to adulthood ensures they remain housed, connected, and empowered to achieve their goals. 💪🏼

A bottle of dish soap or a pack of sponges might seem small — but for a young adult working hard to maintain a safe home for themselves and their kiddos, it can make a real difference.
That's why in addition our Buckets of hope for all new shoppers, all returning Resource Day shoppers have open shop options for basic household tools and cleaning supplies.
We invite you to join our community of pantry partners in supporting young adults transitioning from systems of care. Together we can keep young folks housed in safe, clean homes and they navigate their first years of independence. 🏡
Or want to learn more about our main mission to support young adults transitioning from systems of care through material resources & mentorship (and cute cat photos)
We pick up a lot of things in our P4H van, but Pancake the Hedgehog was our first animal rescue!
We love a good nonprofit collab, even when our missions might not exactly cross over very much. Lucky timing had our staff right in the area this Hops + Co. Small Animal Rescue guy needed to be picked up and he'll be fostered by our Director of Programs, Morgan!
We'll be getting back to furniture today, but we're always grateful for these fun little moments to remind ourselves what the "Partnership" in Partnership for Hope really means!

We’re excited to celebrate a major milestone at Partnership 4 Hope, the launch of our new Emerging Adult Internship Program and the hiring of our very first intern! Please welcome Shay to our Partnership team.
This paid internship is designed to help young adults ages 18-26 build stability, confidence, and long-term success through hands-on work experience, mentorship, financial literacy, job readiness, and personal development.
Our goal is to create opportunities where young adults feel supported, valued, and empowered as they work toward their personal and professional goals.

Have you checked our Amazon Wishlist in a while? We continually make updates to that list to ensure folks have access to a list of our highest needed items at any given time.
Some items are on there pretty much all the time, but others make a temporary appearance as we receive requests from our young folks.
On Wednesdays we drive the Wumbo Jumbo van around all day!
Furniture and pantry pickups, deliveries to young adults all over town, helping haul items for our partner agencies-- this big van does it all!
We are immensely thankful for the continuous support from our community, which keeps our routes filled with pickups and our gas tank full for the journey.
In celebration of National Recurring Donation Week, think about becoming a recurring supporter to help us keep moving forward!
