Students in Matt Hamilton's Digital Storytelling Class at Cathedral City High School are following Rancho Mirage councilman Scott Hines as he spends a week living on the streets in Coachella Valley. The students are participating in a documentary that will highlight the problems of hunger in the Valley.
The story began with a grocery distribution in the parking lot of Calvary Bible Church in Cathedral City Saturday morning, April 2, 2011.
Hines is carrying no cash or identification as he makes his way across the Valley using public transportation and eating at public food pantries. He's meeting and talking with people throughout the week, from the homeless people to elected city officials, to talk about hunger in the Valley.
His journey is part of FIND Food Bank's hunger awareness campaign and ends Friday at KPSP Local2 where he will be part of a telethon at the station to raise money for FIND.
