GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - November is National Homeless Month.

The number of youth aged 16 to 21 on their own has increased by 57% in Minnesota since 2006.

As the holidays approach, many homeless youth are struggling to find a place to eat.

An actual Thanksgiving feast seems like a dream.

YouthLink is one of the Twin Cities' most experienced nonprofit youth service providers.

Wednesday night, they are hosting a Thanksgiving party for youth who may not have the opportunity to celebrate otherwise.

Executive Director of YouthLink, Dr. Heather Huseby visited KARE 11 Sunrise to talk about the party.
