Our Wishlists
The Teton Youth and Family Services Wish List is an excellent way for you to donate, and it involves the fun of shopping!
Each year, we need winter clothing, camping and hiking gear, art supplies, sports equipment, and so much more for children and adolescents participating in our programs and staying in our residential facilities. Each item on our list is crucial, as these help us provide amazing opportunities for our kids. Your thoughtful donations of wish list items mean that the youth we serve can heal and discover new beginnings through the bonding, teamwork, and trust found in the outdoors and in living together.
We are constantly updating the items we need based on the season, as gear and equipment wear out, and to appropriately accommodate how many kids we are currently housing. Look at our wish lists for R.E.I., Target, and Dick’s Sporting Goods to see what kind of items we still need!
