Volunteer 8/24 to Make a Difference for the Homeless and Hungry

Stanbridge College REACH – Beyond the Classroom™ invites you to volunteer to help the homeless on August 24th in Costa Mesa.

Did you know that 1 in 6 Americans live on incomes that put them at risk for hunger? During summer months this number is even higher. Furthermore, families are at risk of sunstroke, heatstroke, and dehydration living on the streets or in their cars. Water fountains are more remote than one might think and many shelters force those in need to leave and stay outside during the day.

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