Sunday night on "60 Minutes," anchor Scott Pelley revisited Seminole County, months after his original story on homeless children in Central Florida first aired.

Pelley first brought the school district's plight to the attention of the entire nation in March, and now, the district says it has more community help than ever.

As the head of the districts Families in Transition office, Beth Davalos said she has been relying on her community for years.

"Sadly, this year, we're at almost 1,200 (homeless students) already, that's over 30 percent increase from a year ago," Davalos said. "There is no area in our county that immune to this."

Davalos has been courting potential volunteers to act as mentors, case managers and donors for the program.

"I've never had a room of volunteers like this before who are vested. Vested in making a difference in our own county, in our own backyard," Davalos said.

Davolos said after Sunday night's episode of "60 minutes" she does not have enough phones, but as quickly as the donations are pouring in, the money is rushing out to families in need.

Davalos said the number of homeless children in Seminole County will likely top 2,000 by the end of the school year.

In Orange County, the number is close to 4,000.

Killarney Elementary School has a Winter Park address, but it is not in the park of Winter Park that most people think of. It includes 80 students who live in the hotels that line Lee Road near Interstate 4.

"They can't afford the rent, the mortgages, therefore they reside in the hotels surrounding our schools," Killarney principal Letecia Foster said.

Foster sends many of her students home on Fridays with bags of food in the hopes that they won't go hungry over the weekend.

"Sometimes the kids just come because they know they're going to be well fed," Foster said.

Fern Creek Elementary School principal Patrick Galatowitsch said he understands Killarney's plight. Twenty percent of his students reside at the coalition for the homeless.

"We do some extraordinary things here, but it's because of all of us working together as a school family that we're able to make such a great difference for our kids," Galatowitsch said.
