For 50 years, New Morning has provided a safety net of services to youth and their families in El Dorado County since 1970. These services include the 24-hour Emergency Youth Shelter (the only one in El Dorado County) for homeless and runaway youth. We have programs to support alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents, counseling, and support for pregnant and parenting teens, and counseling for high-risk youth (youth who are abused, suicidal, experiencing school failure, runaway or thrown out of their home, or engaging in delinquent behavior). All proceeds from the “Battle of the Badges” are used to ensure that the runaway, homeless and in-crises youth in our community have a safe place to stay, get food, clothes, and receive the support of caring professionals.

Sponsorships are still available and there is still room for vendors. Space is limited.
