More than 50 players from the Mira Costa girls soccer team volunteered their time this past weekend to make and distribute lunches to the homeless in downtown Los Angeles. They joined a group of other volunteers with the Lunches with Love group and caravanned to deliver and distribute the bagged lunches.
The team made the lunches - 350 of them - Saturday night and together they went to distribute the meals early Sunday morning to individuals who live on the streets of Los Angeles. It took about an hour to hand out all the lunches.
The team is coached by Patty Perkinson.
"It was a meaningful, moving experience that none of them expected to have," said parent Dayle Eisenhauer.
Eisenhauer said several of the girls have already expressed interest in making more lunches and gathering sweatshirts to hand out to underprivileged kids living downtown.
