Homeless Youth

Nov 1 - Larry Cervarich of the Goodyear White Tanks Rotary told us about his work with the Homeless Youth Connection. This foundation was set up to help homeless teenagers finish school. He explained how many of the kids they help maintain good grades while they struggle to find meals and shelter. Most are boys whose families have met with hard times and have been abandoned to make it on their own. The HYC helps them find meals, places to stay, and general neccessties - sleeping bags, toiletries, a change of clothes. This worthy cause began as a Rotary project, spun off as an independent foundation, and is expanding state-wide; all since last January.
