Help Us Rebuild Our Kitchen

We’re West Broadway Youth Outreach (WBYO), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for youth in the West Broadway area and beyond. For years, we’ve been a second home to countless kids, offering free after-school and summer programs that help them grow, learn, and thrive.

But recently, disaster struck. A pipe burst in our facility, causing severe damage to our kitchen—the heart of our programming. Our cupboards, the most affected items, are now unusable. As a non-profit, we carefully allocate our resources to serve our community to the best of our ability. However, unexpected repairs like this stretch us thin and could divert critical funds away from the programs and experiences that directly benefit the youth we serve.

Without a functional kitchen, we risk losing the ability to provide cooking activities and nutritious meals—cornerstones of our programming that teach life skills, foster creativity, and bring kids together.

This is where we need your help.

Our kitchen is more than just a space—it’s where kids learn life skills, bond over shared meals, and discover the joy of cooking and baking. It’s where they gain confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. Without it, we can’t fully serve the incredible young people who rely on us.

Here’s what your support will do:

Why WBYO Matters:

Every day, we provide a safe space for youth ages 4 and up to learn, grow, and connect. Many of the kids we serve face limited opportunities, but at WBYO, they find a community that believes in their infinite potential. From literacy and numeracy practice to exploring museums, beaches, and festivals, we’re committed to giving them experiences that inspire and empower.

Here’s how your support will make a difference:

The funds raised will go directly toward restoring our kitchen to a safe, functional, and welcoming space for the youth we serve. Specifically, your contributions will help us:
