✨ Youth Services Clothing Closet ✨

We’re proud to introduce a resource designed with our youth and families in mind, the Youth Services Clothing Closet! 💙

This initiative is all about making sure our young people have access to clean, appropriate, and confidence-boosting clothing for school, events, and everyday life. Because when our youth feel good, they show up stronger, prouder, and ready to succeed.

From everyday essentials to special pieces, this closet was created with love, purpose, and community support.

🙌 How you can help:
• Donate gently used or new clothing
• Share this post to spread the word
• Support our mission to uplift and empower our youth

Together, we’re not just providing clothes — we’re building confidence, dignity, and opportunity.

📍 Stay connected with City of Vicksburg Youth Services for more ways to get involved!

The City of Vicksburg Youth Services would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped make our Easter Egg-stravaganza and Citywide Scavenger Hunt a tremendous success! 🐣🌸

From the smiling kids to the supportive parents and the amazing community partners who helped along the way, this event truly showed what happens when our community comes together for our youth.

Over the past few days, families traveled across the city solving clues, visiting community landmarks, and enjoying the excitement of the hunt before the final bunny reveal at Halls Ferry Park. The energy, laughter, and friendly competition made it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

We also want to give a special thank you to Becoming U Mentoring and Life Coaching, Elevate Church, the City of Vicksburg, Vicksburg Police Department and City of Vicksburg, MS-Parks and Recreation, Vicksburg Family Development, Airrion Galloway, Vicksburg Warren Youth Development Center, Chickfila, Vicksburg Ms, and Comfort Stations Inc., who helped make this event possible. Your support allows us to continue creating safe, fun, and engaging opportunities for the youth and families of Vicksburg.

💛 This is what community looks like.

Stay connected with City of Vicksburg Youth Services for more upcoming programs, family events, and youth opportunities. We’re just getting started!
