Light a Light of Love snowflakes on the Huntington Beach Pier proceeds support a youth shelter that has been in Huntington Beach for many years.

Huntington Beach, Calif..―Light a Light of Love snowflakes on the Huntington Beach Pier are rented to sponsors who get a name plaque next to a snowflake that is light from the light of the flake during the month of December. The snowflakes actually stretch from the pier through the first few blocks of Main Street, illuminating the way for shoppers and tourists to shop and play.


What is the value of support of this project?  A youth shelter located in the city's Central Park was once largely supported through city funding. When budget cuts were enacted a few years ago, this program was one to lose much of its funding. The shelter closed for several years but re-opened in summer 2006 under the new management company, Community Services Programs, Inc.  The company was founded in 1972 at the University of California Irvine as a Social Ecology Program. The non-profit agency operates the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter program, a youth shelter in Laguna Beach and receives support from Coral Thrift in San Clemente. Donations of lightly used clothing and items are needed. Location: 532 - 534 N. El Camino Real, San Clemente, CA. Call: (949) 492-2385. web: cspinc.org.
