Volunteer 7/27 to Help the Summertime Surge in OC Homelessness

Stanbridge College REACH – Beyond the Classroom invites you to volunteer to help the homeless on July 27th in Costa Mesa.

June gloom is gone and summer time temperatures are just beginning to shoot through the roof. But while many of us are cooling off by the pool or beach, homeless people and families risk sunstroke, heatstroke, and dehydration living on the streets or in their cars. Public water fountains are harder to come by then you would think and many shelters force those in need to leave and stay outside during the day.

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:
