Temecula: $18,100 Donated
Through Impact Club, as Impact Venture Capitalists, we invest heavily in local charities that demonstrate a powerful “Story Engine,” and have proven their willingness to fight for their cause – by competing in and winning a high-stakes competition. As a result, Impact Club, through Impact Venture Capitalism has dramatically multiplied the Impact that a single person can have on charities in their local community.
The Charities
Neighbors helping neighbors. Hope’s Community Closet is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity organization. A boutique-style store which is set up in a way to ensure a comfortable “shopping experience”, we offer gently used (and new) clothing, shoes and backpacks at no cost to school aged kids and teens (kindergarten-12th grade) from low income families in the Temecula Valley and surrounding communities. Growing kids need new clothes each year and purchasing that clothing can be a hardship for families who are struggling financially. We are here to assist in relieving the burden for parents.
The Face of Homelessness has changed. Since our foundation in 2003, we have fought and advocated for those in need in our community to receive the most basic and essential human needs. For over a decade now we have been providing a dedicated call center serving the Temecula and Murrieta Police Departments 24/7. For the last 8 years, Project T.O.U.C.H. has operated an annual winter shelter for our most vulnerable citizens; children, single mothers, emancipated foster youth, domestic violence victims, seniors, mentally and physically disabled, veterans and entire families.
CYT is dedicated to developing character in children and adults through training in the arts and by producing wholesome family entertainment, all of which reflect Judeo-Christian values.” This is the mission statement of CYT. It is simple and straight forward. However what this organization is able to do with and for children is remarkable. Our program is designed for young people ages 5 to 18. Our “Actors Unlimited” class meets the needs of our high functioning special needs individuals. Through the time our students spend with us, we use the vehicle of musical theater to teach life skills.
