Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotarians help feed homeless Ocean Beach youth

Members of Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary and Canyon Crest Academy’s Interact Club met to put 80 fresh dinners together on a recent Friday afternoon.

Afterward, they (and the dinners) joined other San Diego’s Urban Street Angels volunteers in walking the streets of Ocean Beach to help feed the homeless youth they found. In addition to food, the volunteers provided socks and hope to those who most needed it.

Urban Street Angels is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of care to homeless youth in San Diego. The organization and its volunteers are committed to feeding the homeless four to six times each month, supplying basic necessities and supportive services, including referrals to medical care, transitional employment and housing resources, and other providers of social services. Most important, Urban Street Angels strives to build trust and safe relationships with the homeless young to facilitate their transition off the streets. Visit www.urbanstreetangels.org.
