Former CFCC baseball player and San Diego Chargers safety Clinton Hart is doing his share to help out victims of the California wildfires. He spent some of his recent time off helping evacuees at Qualcomm Stadium.

From Chargers.com:

Safety Clinton Hart spent most of his day at Qualcomm Stadium where thousands of people have made temporary homes while wildfires continue to sweep through San Diego County. Hart helped distribute food, water and supplies to those supplanted from their homes. He also dished out smiles and hugs and signed countless autographs.

“It was good to see people keeping their chins up and staying positive through a tough time,” Hart said. “I wanted to go down there and encourage people. I spent a lot of time talking to people who were away from the crowds and hanging out by themselves. I had some really good conversations.”

Hart also spent several hours at Qualcomm Stadium Monday night. He was so encouraged by the hundreds of fellow volunteers that gave their time to helping others that he decided to go back Tuesday.

“Everything was really organized down there,” Hart said. “It felt really good to see people coming together and helping each other. That’s what it’s all about, helping your brothers and sisters in times of need.”

 You can donate to help those affected by the wildfires at www.redcross.org.
