The Bold and the Beautiful has tried to shed light on the issue of homelessness via on-screen visits to Skid Row (an area of downtown Los Angeles that holds the largest stable population of homeless people in the United States) as well as the introduction of former homeless character, Maya Avant. And now, Rena Sofer (Quinn Fuller) is doing her part to shed light on the heartbreaking issue, as well.

The actress has started a Union Rescue Mission fundraising page with the hope that fans will help her put a stop to Americans facing the reality of having no roof over their heads.

"I am fundraising for URM Fundraiser with my athletic event page because I want to help end homelessness in Los Angeles," she says. "Your support will benefit URM's mission in ending homelessness, as well as healing families, helping men and women overcome addictions, and transforming lives."

Union Rescue Mission is an organization dedicated to serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. They provide comprehensive emergency and long-term services to guests to help them escape the dangerous streets of Skid Row. B&B's executive producer, Bradley P. Bell, and several of the show's stars -- including Sofer -- have partnered with the organization on multiple occasions to serve Thanksgiving dinner to L.A.'s homeless population.
