About Cater 2 You Youth Haven

Cater 2 You Youth Haven is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and licensed 24-hour emergency residential care facility located in Upper Darby, PA, serving homeless and at-risk youth ages 13–21 involved in the child welfare system. Our mission is to cater to the unique needs of children in crisis by providing a safe haven where they can access shelter, basic necessities, emotional support, educational resources, life skills training, and pathways to long-term stability. Founded on the principles of dignity, healing, and empowerment, we strive to create an inclusive and empowering community that fosters resilience, self-confidence, and positive futures for our young residents. Our intimate, home-like setting supports up to 11 residents at a time, offering trauma-informed care, on-site mental health services, mentorship, and individualized service plans delivered by a dedicated team of professionals. As a licensed Child Residential Facility through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, we go beyond basic care by offering luxury-level accommodations and partnering with community-based organizations to support medical, educational, and vocational development. By working closely with foster care agencies, juvenile probation, and placement organizations, we help youth transition toward stable, long-term solutions. At Cater 2 You, we believe every young person deserves a chance to thrive, and we work daily to piece back the puzzles of life—one youth at a time.
