TaskEasy Cares and VOA Homeless Youth

Each month, our TaskEasy team members volunteer at the VOA Homeless Youth Resource Center which serves homeless youth in Utah. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide, prepare, and serve lunch to young people aged 15-22 who are at risk or experiencing homelessness.

The Center is both a drop-in resource center and a shelter for anyone aged 15-22. Volunteers are always welcomed and much needed, and we are thankful for the opportunity to help our community.

In Utah, the LGBTQ youth are disproportionately impacted by homelessness. According to Utah Equality, the largest non-profit LGBT rights group in Utah, 20-40% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ nationally; in Utah it’s an astonishing 50-60%. TaskEasy Cares understands the needs are great, and we are always ready to stand with and support our LBGTQ community.
