Street kids to get 48 hours of help for kids
Friday, April 28, 2000 | 9:10 a.m.
A two-day event designed to draw attention to homeless and at-risk Las Vegas youth begins today as part of the opening of a new outreach center.
The new facility, at Life Line Family Education Center, 1330 E. Karen Ave., opens at 4 p.m. today and will stay open until 6 p.m. Sunday as part of "48 Hours on the Streets," a national event to draw attention to the growing problem of at-risk youth on the streets.
Stand Up For Kids counselors are volunteering their time. Clothing, food, hygiene products, bus tokens and pre-paid calling cards are needed for the teens.
The location will serve as a drop-in center sponsored by Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth and will be open 4-7 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays.
