Volunteer 6/22 to Help the Summertime Surge in OC Homelessness

Stanbridge College REACH – Beyond the Classroom invites you to volunteer to help the homeless on June 22nd in Costa Mesa.

Did you know that the summer months are toughest for homeless children? While most kids are able to go to summer camp, water parks, or theme parks, many homeless kids are left alone to fend for themselves. Without support from their schools, they are unable to receive free or discounted meals at breakfast or lunch and are at risk without a comfortable and safe place to stay during the day. Parent’s struggle to afford day care, let alone being able to spend time with their children when trying to make ends meet.

This is one more reason why supporting our community’s homeless population is important all year round. Join us this month to support our Orange County homeless community:
