Over 50 students from various Orange County high schools from Drug Use Is Life Abuse’s IMPACT and Next Step educational programs brought donations from families, friends and neighbors to “Fill the Truck.” The students helped make a local Human Options shelter house into a “home” by providing household goods. Victims of domestic violence– women with children – rely on this confidential location for safety, counseling, and support for 45 days after fleeing their abusive situation.
The event took place Tuesday, July 21 at Corona Del Mar Beach Fire Pits. DUILA’s deputies and staff provided food, refreshments and information on Drug Use Is Life Abuse’s upcoming projects while the students earned community service hours.
