For the 4th year in a row, Del Rio Student Center 7th grade student Zuri Honore, 12, of Lake Elsinore raised funds and prepared meals to feed a Christmas meal to dozens of people currently experiencing homelessness. He started work with the homeless after visiting Los Angeles and seeing large numbers of homeless on the street. He recalled, “It was sad to see. I think it’s important that we treat them as well as anyone else.”
He raises funds by selling bracelets and t-shirts on his website. At other times of the year, he supplies the homeless with toiletry bags.
His future plans include studying the culinary arts and economics. Del Rio has been a good fit for him, Zuri said, and “the teachers are the best I’ve had since I began school.”
