    Distribution of Clothing to the Poor – VYC distributed a number of items to poor households in Sophia and Lodge. While accessing other services from the organisation, many youth were able to benefit from items such as baby clothing, child and adult clothing. Items are usually donated to Drop In centre, The Red Cross Children’s Home, Amerindian Hostel and at the Georgetown Public Hospital Pediatric ward.
