People Helping People Fest
Sunday September 28, 2008
Creating peace in the world begins individually. It is in the giving to others that brings us to that place of peace, compassion and understanding.
People Helping People Fest is all about community involvement to help non-profit organizations assist people in Orange county and worldwide. This unique festival brings together people of all ages to exchange friendship by raising the awareness of what is needed in the community. At the People Helping People Fest there are a variety of ways to help in the community by signing up to volunteer for the non for profit organization of your choice.
12 hours of service is equivalent to paying an employee $13.00 per hour which is extremely beneficial to non-profits and to the many they are reaching out to.
The Center's goal this year is 300 volunteers equaling $46.800.00. Of course, no festival would be complete without an abundance of food and music. Any 12 hours donated to any given non-profit, a free lunch and concert will be provided.
Think of all the goodwill and peace we can create together.
Please join us Sunday, September 28, 2008 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. And please bring a friend.
