Volunteers Need to Help Homeless Find Spirit of Christmas in OC

Stanbridge College REACH – Beyond the Classroom is looking for volunteers to help the homeless in December. Hundreds of homeless, low-income and elderly people and families can’t afford or aren’t able to have a holiday celebration. But together, we can help make their Christmas season a little warmer.

This month we have several events that need extra help:

Sorting and Distributing Food at the Free Pantry Organization

Volunteers are needed to help sort and distribute free groceries and household items to those in need at the Free Pantry Organization. The Free Pantry Organization also encourages donations of jars of peanut butter to offer to the needy.

It may be the most wonderful of time of the year, but for thousands on the street it is another day of trying to find food and shelter. Help them understand the true meaning of Christmas.
