Escondido, CA – Specialized Transition Adult Resources Training (START) students are making a meaningful impact in the community through their ongoing volunteer work with Feeding San Diego. Every Thursday, teacher Courtney Coffin’s START
students volunteer at the organization’s Escondido location, supporting efforts to combat food insecurity across the region. After Mrs. Coffin visited Feeding San Diego’s main headquarters with her own children and seeing a large group volunteer, she thought it would be an amazing opportunity for ALL START students to experience.
