JORDAN’S FURNITURE

Each year, the Youth Leadership Advisory Team (YLAT) honors a caring adult or organization that has shown exceptional leadership on behalf of youth in foster care in Maine. This year, we are proud to present the Friend of Youth in Care Award to Jordan’s Furniture. Jordan’s Furniture has shown what it means to be a true partner in
supporting youth in foster care. Through their generosity, they have built meaningful public-private partnerships that promote youth independence, normalcy, health and well-being, permanent families, and above all—dignity.

Jordan’s Furniture helps young people transitioning out of care furnish their first apartments by providing gift cards that support both practical needs and a sense of pride and accomplishment. They have also helped celebrate educational milestones by gifting a donation that provides a monetary gift to youth who
complete high school, college, or training programs—reminding young people that their achievements matter and deserve  recognition. As a permanent Heart Gallery site, Jordan’s Furniture amplifies the voices of youth waiting for their forever families. Their support of resource families—through memory-making experiences and joyful events—demonstrates their ongoing commitment to the whole community.

They have also proudly sponsored Maine’s Fostering Potential  Festival, helping to raise awareness in the community about the
need for loving homes for older youth in care. Jordan’s Furniture doesn’t just support youth in care—they stand beside and celebrate them. For this and so much more, we are honored to recognize Jordan’s Furniture as a true Friend of Youth in Care.
