StandUp For Kids is a national organization dedicated to directing homeless and children living on the streets toward lifelong personal growth.
The StandUp for Kids organization came to school today to give a presentation about a community service opportunity. The middle school students will be given the chance to serve a meal each month at the StandUp For Kids Center here in San Diego. They can also help by putting together outreach packets for the kids living on the street. They need your help in collecting items for these packets. If you would like to volunteer to serve a meal at the center please contact Bob Hamm.
Meal Servings Dates this Year: Sept. 26th, Oct. 24th, Jan. 23rd, Feb. 27th, Mar. 27th, April 24th, and May 22nd
If you could bring any of these items to school on a regular basis and place in the designated collection bins, it will enable the StandUp For Kids counselors to give them to the homeless children in our community.
