November 28, 2018
VERO BEACH, FL–Volunteers in the Orlando area are invited to Watercrest Lake Nona Assisted Living and Memory Care to assist at a backpack stuffing event to benefit homeless youth. On November 30 at 2 p.m, Watercrest Lake Nona associates, residents and community volunteers will pack backpacks full of necessities to provide to homeless youth in the local community.
The backpack stuffing events are part of The Danna Foundation’s, ‘We Got Your Back’ initiative, inspiring homeless youth to seek help from Volunteers of America or Covenant House to improve their lives.
The backpack drive provides homeless youth with new, sturdy, high-quality backpacks which keep their belongings safe and that are stocked with vital items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, socks and deodorant.
