Join Us For Our Makeover Project At Safe Place For Youth!

For several years the Rotary Club of Westchester has been changing lives in our community with our "Extreme Home Makeover Project". Our Rotarian volunteers, along with partners in our neighborhood, spend a long weekend completely renovating the home of a deserving homeowner or family. Past recipients have included the elderly, disabled, terminally ill and, in 2015, the Westchester Senior Center. This February, we have set our sights even higher. We will be renovating Safe Place For Youth (S.P.Y.) in Venice.

Safe Place For Youth's mission is to inspire, nurture and empower the resilient human spirit of homeless youth by providing immediate and lasting solutions, one person at a time. This organization serves over 6,000 homeless youth each year, providing over 13,000 meals and 800 health and wellness consultations. S.P.Y. is making an enormous impact in the community, but they need our help. From February 17-20, 2017, we will renovate their facilities by building and/or renovating the drop-in area, office spaces, outdoor clothing donation closets, and a restorative yoga area.
