Thank you to all our young and young at heart volunteer elves who packed and distributed our Christmas family bags and gifts. Each family received three to four food bags, a blanket for each child, and a Wal-Mart gift card. Some families requested household items such as towels, dishes, toasters, or pots and pans and these wishes were fulfilled.
Our Christmas distribution was made possible by generous donations from Bonsall and Fallbrook businesses, community members, and our friends and families. Thank you! A special shout out to Stella Grubaugh and Taylor Thomas who made bracelets and sold them to benefit LOYB families! Ryder Grubaugh also made a generous donation from his savings! Thanks to all. LOYB wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Our next distribution will be Wednesday, January 6th.

The volunteers of Love On Your Back continue to work tirelessly to provide family sized meals to our families. Our December distributions contain more food to try and meet the needs of our families.
The December 16 distribution will provide family sized meals for 3 weeks of food during school vacation. We are also able to give each child in our program a new blanket (128). Each family will receive a Walmart gift card to help with holiday expenses. We will help some families with some specific needs such as dishes, towels, pots and pans, and silverware. This is only possible because of the generous donations by our volunteers and continued support from the Bonsall Community. WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL to you for believing in our program and for continuing support. Our families are so thankful for the help of our program. Donations may be sent to the address: 3597 Kellington Ct. Oceanside CA 92056. Venmo, and the Bonsall Elementary School office. We practicing a no contact distribution wearing masks, face shields and gloves. Families drive up and we put items in their cars. Our January distributions will be on Jan. 6 and Jan. 20. WE WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hold your loved ones close. Carol Wood President Love On Your Back Thank you to all our LOYB volunteers who came out yesterday and packed and distributed 53 family bags feeding 130 children. Our next distribution on December 16th will include extra food to help our families through the two week Christmas break.
Please remember to help support Bonsall Elementary School's Spread the Love Christmas Collection. Gift cards and monetary donations can be dropped off at the BES office before Friday, December 11th. LOYB thanks all our volunteers and donors...we couldn't do it without you! Today is Giving Tuesday and we have an amazing lady who reached out to our organization to help fundraise for us. Her name is Shannon Moss. She has been working with USANA Health Foundation to get money for LOYB. They are doing a matching grant through the end of the year. All donations made today through the end of the year (up to $1000) will be 100% matched which is fantastic!! So if we earn $1000, USANA Health Foundation will send a check for $2000!!
