The Key

Because when you’re a teenager, life should include some fun and games. Thank you Good Steward Handyman Service for recognizing the importance of fun and donating a beautiful arcade table to The Key!

This gift will bring smiles to the faces of the youth we serve, incorporating more opportunities for recreation within our walls and promoting one of our mission’s tenets: improved quality of life for the young people who call The Key home.

Thank you for your kindness and gift of joy!

Warning, if hungry look away:) As we look forward to seeing our prospective volunteers tonight (Wed., June 10) at the Mustard Seed in downtown Troy, here’s one example of how our local volunteers support The Key, our mission to end youth homelessness, and the young people who call The Key home.

Kelly comes to The Key Thursday evenings to make dinner for our residents. Her homemade dishes bring smiles to residents’ faces, fill them with nutritious dinners, and remind them that they are worthy, loved, and seen by this community.

If you have the heart for local youth and have time, talent or treasure you’d like to share, visit us tonight from 5-7 p.m. Come hungry for more information about The Key!

We are dancing for joy over the generous donation of $525 from the Lincoln County Kickers!

Thank you for this incredible gift, helping us to carry forward our mission of ending youth homelessness and preventing child abuse and neglect in Lincoln County. Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated by all who call The Key home🗝️❤️

With sincere gratitude and appreciation The Key thanks Abigail Beck for taking senior photos of our residents again this year!

📷Having the opportunity to be photographed, celebrated, and pampered--acknowledging how amazing high school graduation feels for a young person who has overcome so many obstacles to get to this moment--is a priceless gift.

📷Holding their senior photos in their hands and having the opportunity to see themselves the way their community sees them, well ... that's simply too difficult to properly capture.

The Key and our volunteer coordinator extraordinaire Lacy Gambill invite our current and prospective volunteers to an evening of connection, purpose, and mission-inspired service.

We want to celebrate our volunteers and invite others who may be curious about The Key, our mission, and opportunities to serve and learn more about our story, which is the story of how one community came together so that at-risk and homeless youth couldd have a safe, loving place to call home.

We hope to see you there!
