Sox Place

Sox Place is a daytime drop-in center for street youth. These range in ages from 12 to 30 and belong to the youth sub-culture known as “street kids.” Many have been abandoned by parents/guardians, some are victims of the foster care system, and most have been tossed aside by society. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, violence, and sex are a part of their everyday lives. Most are just trying to survive! A hot meal and a safe place is provided Tuesday through Saturday. There are activities such as videos, video games, foosball, and pool to entertain the youth during their time at Sox Place. Staff and volunteers spend their time interacting with the youth, connecting and building friendships in order to build healthy and constructive relationships.
