Sara Castro, Star Of Several Current Films, Gives Back By Helping Local Charities

LOS ANGELES - Sept. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Sara Castro is one of those rare actors or actresses that hopes any success she gains can be used to also make life better for others less fortunate than she. In keeping with that philosophy, when she is not working in a film or television project, or working to better her craft, she freely volunteers her time with several of her chosen charities in the hopes that she can play some part in making life better for others. One of her causes is feeding the homeless and the poor and she volunteers regularly to help one of L.A.’s biggest charities dealing with this issue, the Los Angeles Mission. This weekend she gave of her time to help the organization raise money with through the Herbalife Los Angeles Triathlon, which is donating funds from the event to the Mission.

“It means a lot to me to be involved with The Los Angeles Mission,” Castro said. “I volunteer with them at other times of the year also, especially their holiday efforts to feed the homeless and less fortunate. Playing parts in film and television can be fun and sometimes impacts people, but what The Los Angeles Mission does every day is what is really important. I am glad I can help in whatever way I can.”

Sara Castro is not only moved to help feed the homeless and others, she also has a soft spot for animals and children with autism. So she is involved with People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and is soon going to begin volunteering with a local autism organization in Los Angeles.

A rising actress with a good heart is a great combination. Castro has a movie out on DVD, “Baseball’s Last Hero: 21 Clemente Stories,” another film making the festival circuit to critical acclaim, “Halfway To Hell,” and another film, in which she co-stars with Danny Glover, “The Shift,” expected in theaters soon. Busy as she is, it is surprising she has any time to volunteer. But she does because giving is part of who she is.
