FEBRUARY COMMUNITY OUTREACH
We are having a Toiletry Drive for Saddleback Valley Unified School District’s Student Marketplace. The Student Marketplace was established to provide food and personal supplies to McKinney Vento families in the Saddleback Valley School District. These are families who may be homeless or are struggling financially to keep a roof over their heads. Families are vetted as to their economic status and must register to receive goods each Friday afternoon while school is in session. Fresh milk, eggs , vegetables, and a protein are given to each family as well as canned goods and personal hygiene products.
