Back to Program
This year's partner is Storefront Youth Shelter, an organization that provides shelter, food, clothes, school assistance, crisis counseling and medical care to homeless teenagers in the San Diego area. We are asking each Chapter to donate one book bag filled with items from the shelter's wish list (below).
Storefront is registered at Target (first name "Storefront" and last name "Storefront") and asks that the donations include a variety of supplies to meet the needs of many teens. Please do not include clothing in gang related colors (completely blue or red).
Our National Community Service Initiative is a very important Conference tradition and one way we thank our host city. Without your support, this wouldn't be possible. If you have any questions, Kion Sanders, PRSSA national vice president of Chapter development, at kion.sanders@gmail.com or 843-259-0751.
