Pocket Change, Santa Monica High School's student-led charity organization that supports local nonprofits through donations of loose change, has chosen to support Step Up on Second for the month of April.

Step Up on Second helps provide support for those with mental illness through permanent supportive housing, rehabilitation, healthcare and employment training.

In March, the charity was able to raise $112 for the Ocean Park Community Center.

To make a donation to Pocket Change, visit a donation box at one of Samohi's five house offices.
