Unity Shoppe operates a year-round free grocery and clothing store so people on the verge of homelessness can shop with dignity for their basic needs such as food and clothing. By supplementing these basic necessities, people have the ability to pay their rent and utilities and are then able to move their lives forward. Our volunteers will help by stocking food and clothing, working at the register, helping customers to shop for their families' necessities, and more. This is a truly unique opportunity to experience the essence of "giving back".

• Community Service participants volunteer with the same project for the length of the program, in order to have a lasting impact on Unity Shoppe and the people they are helping in Santa Barbara
• Participants volunteer Monday – Friday, four hours per day, for the duration of the program, earning between 60 to 80 hours of Community Service credit.
• The goal of Project California Community Service is not only to give back to the community but for our participants to also learn and grow through their experiences.
