BLANKETS FOR THE HOMELESS

We will be assembling 100 fleece blankets to be donated to a HomeAid, a transitional homeless shelter.   No sewing skills needed for this fun project.    This is a hands-on project which can be done at the park,.   

Many homeless persons are people who have experienced a life-altering event and need a second chance to get back on their feet — a place to regroup, catch their breath and regain independence.

Irvine Rotary focuses resources to help residents of Home Aid shelters move toward self-sufficiency, through education, job skills training, financial counseling, and physical and emotional support.

These persons are often:

• • Youth who have aged out of foster care

  • Victims of domestic violence and spousal desertion

  • Children who have become homeless due to a family crisis

  • Families and individuals who are homeless as a result of job loss or illness

  • People who are unable to secure decent, safe housing at an affordable rate
