You can help out a local group of young adults and get your small jobs taken care of, too.

Soon the leaves will be falling and homeowners will need to rake their leaves. Don't despair! Theplace2b youth have decided to offer their services and rake leaves and do other yard work for members of the community. After a youth council meeting, they have agreed to offer their services for free for the elderly and disabled. They request that those who do not fall in this category give a donation to their group fund. They are saving money for a new pool table and a new PS3 control for theplace2b. The youth will be supervised by staff and are available after school and on the weekends. If you need some help, please contact Miriam. miriam@theplace2b.org or 309-786-2030. Spread the word!

Theplace2b is a safe haven for homeless, displaced and at-risk youth in Rock Island and Scott Counties, located in the YWCA Annex in downtown Rock Island at 1600 2nd Avenue. The center is open from 3:00-9:00 pm, Monday through Friday, providing warmth, food, clothing, shelter, homework help, creative programming, and counseling for the youth.
