A Message from Executive Director Kelly Salee:

Dear UMYH Partner,

As always, the health and safety of our youth and staff are our top priorities. In spite of a global pandemic, shutting down is not an option due to the nature of our work. Many of the youth we serve don’t have a place to go, so it’s up to us to continue to give them the compassion, care, and consistency they need. We continue to closely monitor updates from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) for the latest information on the Coronavirus (COVID-19). In light of their recommendations, we’ve had to make temporary changes to our services and the ways we connect with our community.

As we rely on your support to keep our vital youth services running, I wanted to share with you some of what’s happening:

– The Day Education Program was closed on March 13th and we’ll reopen as soon as we’re able to do so

– Tours and Volunteer activities will be suspended for the next several weeks until restrictions on meetings have ended

– In-kind gifts are greatly appreciated, but please call before dropping them off at (812)479-7535

We apologize for any inconveniences these changes may cause. During this time we ask for your patience and also your prayers. Thank you for everything you do to make our work possible.

Sincerely,

Kelly Salee
