🚨 Urgently Needed! 🚨 Fall is just around the corner, and our youth need your support. As temperatures begin to drop, Lost-n-Found Youth is urgently seeking essential items to help LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness across Atlanta. Right now, we’re especially in need of tents, sleeping bags, jeans and denim, socks, and sweatshirts and hoodies. These everyday essentials can provide warmth, comfort, and a little more security for youth navigating life without a safe place to call home. If you’re able to help, please consider donating one of these much-needed items this fall. Together, we can make sure Atlanta’s youth are prepared for the season ahead.

Okay, but what’s better than finding a thrifted piece that you actually want to take home? 👀 Our friend here knows what he likes, cool furniture, clothes that fit, and those unexpected finds. That’s what makes thrifting at LnFY so fun. You never know what you’ll find, and every purchase helps support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. 💛 Come see what you can find. 📍 2585 Chantilly Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

Sometimes, asking for help isn’t easy, especially when you’re experiencing homelessness. That’s why Lost-n-Found Youth brings support directly to the streets. Our street outreach team meets LGBTQ+ youth where they are, offering connection, essential resources, and a path toward safety and stability. It’s about showing up, building trust, and letting young people know they don’t have to face this alone. Because every young person deserves to be seen, supported, and reminded that someone is looking out for them. 💜

Last year, our incredible supporter helped rally their community and became one of Lost-n-Found Youth’s top fundraisers at AIDS Walk Atlanta. 💛 We are so grateful for not just him, but all the people who have continued to show up for LnFY. Every donation makes an impact. When friends, family, coworkers, and communities come together, amazing work gets to happen. Thank you all for the support , and this year, we’re inviting you to join the movement. 📅 September 26 📍 Piedmont Park 🌈 AIDS WALK Atlanta Will you walk with us? Support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. #AIDSWalkAtlanta #LostnFoundYouth

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. 💛 LGBTQ+ young adults ages 18–25 are 2.2× more likely to experience homelessness than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. LGBTQ+ youth homelessness is a real issue in Atlanta and communities across the country—and together, we can help create safer, more stable futures for young people. Supporting LGBTQ+ youth, housing stability, and homelessness prevention starts with community. Learn how you can get involved with Lost-n-Found Youth and help provide safe housing, resources, and support to LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. 🏳️‍🌈 Source: Williams Institute, UCLA School of Law #LostnFoundYouth #YouthHomelessness #AtlantaYouth #YouthHousing #LGBTQCommunity #EndYouthHomelessness

The South is at the center of the HIV conversation ❤️ The South accounts for more than 52% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S., despite representing about 38% of the country’s population. For LnFY and LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness, access to healthcare, HIV prevention, testing, and supportive resources can be especially important. This Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, LnFY is raising awareness and helping create a community where young people can access the care, support, and safe spaces they deserve. Because ending HIV in the South starts with making sure every young person has a place to turn. 🏳️‍🌈 #SouthernHIVAIDSAwarenessDay #HIVPrevention #HIVTesting #HIVCare #LGBTQYouth #YouthHomelessness #LostnfoundYouth
