Project 150

Description

• High school is tough enough without having to worry about where to sleep.Project 150 strives to provide the basic needs to the valley's homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students in the on-going struggle to make sure these kids get their diploma and have a better chance at succeeding in life.Project 150 was born in December 2011 after founders Don Purdue and Patrick Spargur saw a local news story about 150 homeless students at Rancho High School. After visiting the school, it was discovered that the problem was much larger, affecting more than 1100 high school students. After organizing a successful Christmas Drive for Rancho students from friends and Facebook contacts, the two established a charitable trust to help address the larger problem. As the word spread, more volunteers stepped in to help secure and deliver donations. Within 9 months a 501(c)(3) was secured and today Project 150 currently serves 31 high schools. Through Title One and Homeless Advocates at each school, dedicated volunteers are able to find out what each school needs and deliver donations of school supplies, food, clothing, hygiene products and household items. In August 2013, to meet the growing need, Project 150 leased a 3,600 square foot Volunteer Resource Center. This space provides a central location to organize and coordinate volunteer efforts. Project 150 is looking to add additional high schools and eventually serve all Clark County high schools.
