Thank you to our core group of volunteers who came out last Tuesday and Wednesday and packed and distributed over 160 bags of food. Now that school has started, we have changed our distribution dates and time. We are distributing at BES on Tuesday from 2-3 PM so parents can pick up their food as they pick up their children. We are distributing at Pala on Wednesday from 1:30-2:30 PM before and after dismissal.
We added three new families to our program this week! A special thank you to Colette Blackham and the LDS foodbank for the generous grant to LOYB. We have been able to order food from the LDS storehouse to supplement our program. Thank you also to Riverview Church in Bonsall for their generous donation of 55 family food boxes. Both groups make our program a success. Our families thank all donors who supported the school supply and clothing drive, they appreciate your generosity. Our next distribution will be at the community center on Tuesday, September 7th from 2-3 PM and at Pala on Wednesday, September 9th from 1:30-2:30 PM.

LOYB would like to thank our core group of volunteers who helped make Wednesday's distribution a great success! Thank you to all our generous donors who supported our back-to-school clothing and school supply drive. All of you made it possible to distribute over 160 bags of food, 60 homework school supply kits, and several hundred of articles of clothing. Our LOYB families thank you for your support.
A special shout out goes to Jenn Grubaugh who shopped and purchased all items requested by our parents so their children could start school. Jenn's purchases included: 60 pairs of shoes, 90 packages of socks, 20 backpacks, 24 jackets, 18 pants/shorts, 20 sweatshirts, 28 shirts, books, and assorted small children's clothes. Thank you, Jenn. Thank you to Colette Blackham and the Mormon Food Bank for their generous donation to our program! We will be able to order from the foodbank over the next school year to help supplement our program. LOYB appreciates your generosity. LOYB is still looking for a storage space within the Bonsall District where we can store food and pack our backpacks. Please let us know if you are aware of any available facilities. Thank you volunteers and donors, you make our program possible! Our next distribution will be Tuesday/Wednesday, August 24th and 25th. |
