Members of Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary and Canyon Crest Academy’s Interact Club met together to put 80 fresh dinners together on a recent Friday afternoon. Afterward, they (and the dinners) joined with 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.

In addition to this outing, DMSB Rotary had joined with Urban Street Angels on a number of occasions to provide food, necessities, and sleeping bags to homeless youth in Ocean Beach.
Urban Street Angels is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization that provides a continuum of care to the homeless youth community in San Diego. The organization and its volunteers are committed to feeding the homeless 4 ‑ 6 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 importantly, Urban Street Angels strives to build trust and safe relationships with the homeless young to facilitate their transition off the streets. (www.urbanstreetangels.org)
