Maxwell Taylor
Maxwell Taylor is from Oakland, California.
​
He was inspired to do more volunteer work in the 5th grade - when he did research work on Homelessness for a Social Justice project. During this project he has learned a lot about this community. He had the opportunity to interview 25 homeless citizens and most of them became homeless because of an unfortunate incident. During the COVID-19 pandemic he became more involved with his volunteer work. He did this by visiting homeless camps and going to Community Refrigerators often to help clean and refill it so people could have easy access to food.
His goal for unitefourchange to help increase the amount of assistance to the underprivileged community.
