Meals for Homeless Families

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

EXPECTED IMPACT: 

Home Aid residents fluctuate between 50-60 persons at a time. The current rotation of persons returning to permanent housing and self-sufficiency suggests with will serve up to 500 unique persons per year.

By providing a hand-up to persons in temporary homelessness, we bolster their focus on a speedy return to employment, structured family life, and being contributors to our local economy.
