About Youth Unlimited YFC Norfolk

Youth Unlimited YFC is committed to helping youth develop holistically by offering programs and developing relationships that nurture the whole person – physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually.


How this is accomplished in Norfolk is through the generosity of people. We receive all our support from donations. So, by partnering with Coldest Night of The Year, we want to encourage people to care about hungry, hurting and homeless youth and help us start to develop ways to combat this in our community.


Weekly we feed 20-30 youth and hear that if it was not for us, some of them might not have a lunch. We also help youth who are hurting learn where to go and get help. This year's funds are to help expand our programming and help with the costs of our building on Union St. We operate through relationship and help youth see their full hope and potential.
