Looking back at April—and forward to 9 years of YAIPAK!

April was filled with stories of service, strength, and unexpected blessings. As we head into May, we’re also preparing to celebrate 9 years of YAIPAK—9 years of showing up, loving big, and reminding people that You Are Important.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in keeping the mission moving forward. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly commitment, your generosity fuels every story we share.

A New Partnership with Purpose: YAIPAK + Amazon

This past month, we were thrilled to announce a new partnership with Amazon—a company that stood by our side during the 2023 tornado and has now deepened their commitment to helping us serve even more families, veterans, foster children, and individuals in crisis. Their generosity is already making a tangible difference, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to grow together.

Veterans Share Their Stories of Hope

Through Project Patriot Hope, we continue to walk alongside veterans as they move from homelessness into housing—providing them with the essentials needed to make a house feel like home. This month, we shared a special reel featuring three veterans expressing their gratitude after receiving household items through our warehouse. Their words are a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

We also continue to deliver many Totes of Hope every month to the VA in Nashville!

Because She's Worth It: One Woman’s Brave First Step

Addiction recovery takes courage—and often, someone willing to walk alongside you. This month, we had the privilege of helping a woman take that brave first step toward healing. After years of battling addiction and homelessness, she made the decision to enter rehab. Our team supported her through detox and transportation, reminding her that she’s not alone—and that she is worth it.
