I don't believe they do, but I haven't actually asked. Mostly we walk around the streets and hand out a small lunch bag with a sandwich, toothpaste, toothbrush and drink in it. When they need a jacket, blanket or shoes we can usually can come up with something. But it's a small organization so unless you are working in the San Diego chapter you probably wouldn't deal with an issue like that much. It's not a perfect solution to their problems, but at least they can get a decent meal for the night. I think most people would be surprised the amount of runaway teens there are living in the woods or park right near their house. The problem is huge and the perfect solution is not easy to come by. Next time you see a teen working in a video store, don't assume there is a mom and dad for him or her to go home to at the end of the shift. standupforkids.org Michael
