Sometimes, support starts with a helping hand and a moment of connection. LnFY meets people where they are, offering care kits, a listening ear, and space for conversation. Each interaction is an opportunity to listen, build trust, and remind someone that they matter.💛 Beyond the everyday essentials, outreach creates space for people to share what’s on their minds and what support could look like for them. It’s about building relationships rooted in dignity, trust, and care. 💜 🔗Learn ways you can support with the link in our bio. #LostNFoundYouth #StreetOutreach #CommunityCare #CompassionInAction

Together, we’re helping young people find safety, shelter, and a place to belong. #LostNFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth #CommunityImpact

As we close out October, we want to look back at one of the most pivotal times for our organization.

It is a time to celebrate, recognize those who paved the way for organizations like ours to thrive, and build true community for ALL. Thank you for your continued support, Atlanta. 🏳️‍🌈 💜 #LostNFoundYouth #AtlantaPride #PrideWithPurpose#LGBTQYouth #CommunityForAll

Affirmation starts with listening, respecting identity, and showing up. For LGBTQ+ youth facing family rejection or unstable housing, a supportive adult can be a vital lifeline, helping them find safety, resources, and belonging. At Lost-n-Found Youth, we believe every young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued, with a safe place to call home. Be the adult who listens, affirms, and reminds them they belong.💛 #LostNFoundYouth #AffirmingAdults #SupportLGBTQYouth #EndYouthHomelessness #YouBelong

What a day. ❤️ This past Saturday, we came together at Piedmont Park for AIDS Walk Atlanta, walking, remembering, celebrating, and showing up for a future where no one has to face HIV or AIDS alone. We held space for the people and loved ones we’ve lost to AIDS, honored the work that continues in their memory, and celebrated the incredible community that keeps moving this fight forward. With a huge shout out to Kelly Rowland for bringing the house down and ending the walk on a high note! We’re so grateful for everyone who walked with Team Lost-n-Found Youth, cheered us on, donated, volunteered, and helped make this day what it was. And we’re proud to stand alongside the other AIDS Walk Atlanta beneficiaries doing this work across our community. A beautiful day in the park, a whole lot of love, and so much generosity behind us. 💛 Thank you for showing up. We’ll keep showing up, too.
