Throughout Lent, monetary contributions are being accepted to purchase bus passes for the youth of YES (Youth Emergency Services). 

YES serves homeless and at-risk Omaha-area youth by providing critically needed resources such as housing, food, safety, and supplies for immediate needs along with valuable skills training and mentoring services which empower them to become self-sufficient.

YES youth need transportation to classes, work, errands, and appointments for which bus passes would help tremendously.

Would you please Give a Lift for Lent?

Any amount will be greatly appreciated. For reference:

  • A 10-ride with transfer bus card is $15.00
