Each year in cooperation with HELP of Southern Nevada, the Misfits Poker League players come together to collect clothing for Las Vegas youth at the Shannon West Homeless Youth Center.
HELP of Southern Nevada’s Shannon West Homeless Youth Center
Provides services for at-risk youth, age 16-24, that are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
SWHYC provides safe and stable housing, basic needs/food, intensive case management, person-centered case plan, housing stability plan, education assistance, employment assistance, assistance in transitioning to own apartment, addiction and mental health services, health and wellness, financial literacy, activities of daily living and supportive services. At capacity, SWHYC can house 150 youth.
This year's clothing drive will be from Sunday, February 16th to Friday, February 28th at all of our league locations.
Check all of our locations at https://www.misfitspokerleague.com/locations.
We are asking our players to donate items from the following list:
Men's boxer briefs
Women's underwear
Womens sports bras/bralettes
T-shirts
Casual pants & jeans
Socks
Sizes needed are Adult Small to XX-Large (Men & Women).
Due to limited processing capabilities for used clothing, the Youth Center has asked that all donated items be new.
All donations can be given at any of the Misfit Poker League venues before the start of a league game. Please let the Tournament Host know what you have donated when you check-in for the game.
Each player that donates will receive a 1000 chip bonus for each item they donate (max. of 5 items or 5,000 chips/game). Players are welcome and encouraged to donate at as many venues as they would like during the collection period (Feb 16-28).
