幫幫忙基金會將於八月十一日上午十點至下午兩點協助位於長灘市的柬普寨移民社區聯合組織 (United Cambodian Community)共同舉辦第五屆的夏季街道園遊會 (5th Annual Summer Street Fair)，活動地點沿著長灘市的 Dawson 街，從 Dawson和Anaheim街口 (2201 E Anaheim St., Long Beach, CA90804) 開始。

長灘市昰洛杉磯附近最大的柬普寨移民社區，據統計在長灘市有超過百分之五十四的柬普寨移民家庭收入及生活昰低於聯邦的最低基本水平，此次的活動的對象除了長灘市的低收入柬普寨移民家庭外，也包括了長灘市所有其他族裔的低收入家庭，估計發放的對象會達到一千四百人左右；屆時幫幫忙的義工們會在現場發放由我們的捐贈物品。

除了物資的發放外，其他贊助機構還為這些家庭提供了免費的血壓、膽固醇和視力檢查，一些復健系的學生義工也會提供免費的復健按摩；當然這些家庭最期待和迫切需要的昰各種食物及日用品。

對柬普寨低收入家庭除了國內的物資發放外，更值得幫幫忙基金會所有捐贈者及義工們驕傲的昰我們在柬普寨的電腦及縫紉學校，由於大家的善心，幫助了許許多多的年輕人學得一技之長，而幫助他們自己及家人脫離貧困的生活。

您的愛心可以幫助世界上許多在貧苦和困難中掙扎的人，幫幫忙基金會期待您的參與和加入，聯絡電話 (213) 626 7676 或電郵至 daphne@simplyhelp.org.
