Acting for Life

Acting for Life

"Acting for Life" is a charity to help the homeless. It was founded in the eighties by late actor Dick York. He was inspired to start the charity having grown up in the depression and remember how it was living in poverty. He never wanted anyone to live like that. He spent much of the end of his life making calls for donations.

It is uncertain whether this charity has survived the death of Dick York in 1992. During his lifetime it was made up of a few friends, a P.O. Box in Rockford, Michigan, and the actor calling people on the phone.cite web
