San Diego Union Tribune: Photocharity banking big on Sunday benefit concert
Welcome to our website!
Over the past ten years, Photocharity has raised over $1.6M to save homeless youth due mostly to our wonderful and generous corporate sponsors and donors like you. You are angels for the children. Together as a team, we have truly made a difference by funding San Diego Youth Services' Storefront emergency shelter. Your contributions have provided for many things including: breakfast for one year, weekly anger management classes, after-school expressive arts and music programs, a full-time independent living skills instructor, case manager, outreach director and more.
Currently, there are still over 2,000 homeless youth under 18 in San Diego County and funding has been severely reduced. It is estimated that 1 in 50 children in the U.S. are homeless and there are no programs for the 4,000 plus 18 to 24 years old homeless youth in San Diego County. Although times are tough for many of us we must not lose sight of how bad things are for these kids, many of whom are also suffering from abuse, alcohol and drug addiction and other challenges.
Thank you to everyone that supported the first annual KUSI News Walk to Save Homeless Youth on October 23rd. Over 400 participants registered to help us take a stand against youth homelessness in our community.
