SURVIVING < THRIVING

The founder of The New Way was born & raised in Santa Clarita & has been a teacher in the Hart School District for the past 10 years at La Mesa Jr. High School. La Mesa has the highest percentage of homeless students in the entire district, with over half of the school on free and reduced lunch. He saw the need firsthand and decided to start TNW to help his students and their families to get back on their feet.

The New Way has a sister entity, Veg Fest SCV, that is a funnel of resources for our homeless population. The Veg Fest hosts one of the largest food & clothes drives in SCV by asking their 3,000+ attendees to donate food, clothes, and toiletries at their annual event.

This year (2023) we are working with 1 family and hoping to raise enough money to pay for their first and last months rent, security deposit, and first 4 months of groceries and utilities. Our goal is $15,000 and we are very optimistic about reaching that goal for this family.
