While we take the time this holiday season to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, we urge you to get involved in your community to help those that are less fortunate. One way you could do that is with Project T.O.U.C.H.
Project T.O.U.C.H. is a local Temecula charity organization that works to overcome homelessness and establish effective methods of homeless prevention. Some of the services they provide include transitional housing programs, emergency winter shelters, direct emergency assistance, and community food programs.
