Reminder: Support local businesses and small business chains.
Farmer Boys in San Jacinto are generous with their fundraising donations. They are donating just shy of $100 to my after school program with LINC Housing/Cares. These funds will be used to supplement a field trip in the near future. They are also doing ongoing fundraisers for my after school program.
I am grateful to LilPixieBOWtique for their very generous donation valued at $2755 to the LINC Cares after school program. The owner donated personalized and handmade bottlecaps and dog tags with accessories to our End of Year Resident Appreciation Event. We had a jewelry making table open to all attending residents free of charge.
I am also thankful to Cooking and Kids for their generous offer of 10 dozen shortbread style “sugar” cookies for our event mentioned above. She donated a healthy spin to the typical holiday sugar cookies. They were made with flax seeds (I think this is her personal signature!) and the extra bonus was that they were cut out into cute shapes – stars, flowers, circles, and gingerbread men for decorating.
Last but not least, I am thankful to K. Ville Designs for donating a diaper cake. This was one of several raffles given to the residents who remained at the event for its duration. Thank you Karla for making this item extra special! (Diaper cake pictured on the table.) Karla doesn't have a website so if you're interested in learning more you may contact her at Sensory Time Center in Murrieta. (The gal smiling is the property manager for the 55-unit (200 resident) community.)
In the past six months, I have received donations from Walmart, Stater Bros, Vons, Sprouts, Hemet PAL (Police Activities League), a local home schooling mother, and cupcakes from So Good Gluten Free Foods.
Thank you to everyone above who has participated in giving back to a local community who is grateful for your generosity.
