Bridge to Home, the Santa Clarita Valley’s primary provider of services for homeless individuals and families, is seeking to raise $250,000 to ensure year-round homeless shelter services, and Stay Green Inc. has answered that call by becoming the nonprofit’s first premier sponsor.

Stay Green, headquartered in Santa Clarita, is celebrating nearly 50 years of providing quality landscaping services to the community and throughout Southern California.

“Stay Green is committed to supporting our community,” said Stay Green CEO Chris Angelo. “We are very proud to be partnering with Bridge to Home in their mission to provide crucial services to those experiencing homelessness. We encourage other local businesses to join Stay Green and sign up to be a premier sponsor.”

Stay Green is not only stepping up as the first premier sponsor, but also Angelo has joined the Bridge to Home board of directors.

“We are fortunate to have the support of our local businesses, like Stay Green, that are willing to give funds, as well as their time,” said Bridge to Home Executive Director Michael Foley. “I am excited to have this great local company on board as our very first premier sponsor.”

Bridge to Home is offering sponsorship opportunities to help raise the funds necessary to provide 60 beds year-around.
