Your Gifts Can Keep On Giving

Thank You to Our Neighbors!

Thank You, Parkway Estates Neighborhood Association
and Phoenix Park,
for your generous support of local students!

This past December, residents in the Florin Road community donated 125 holiday stockings filled with school supplies and treats to kindergarten, special education, and preschool children at Parkway Elementary School in South Sacramento.  A Christmas tree and decorations were also donated for the distribution event.  And our own associate director filled another 70 stockings donated by the Florin Road Foundation. 

Our best wishes to the students and staff at
Parkway Elementary School and Phoenix Park

for a successful 2012!

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Dept. Central Division is collecting donations for our wounded combat troops.  These donations will go to The Pathway Home at Yountville, an independent, nonprofit organization that relies on donations from individuals for the care of service members who return from Iraq and Afghanistan with serious combat related injuries.    The Pathway Home recently adopted a Military Service Dog program.

Items needed:  laundry soap, shampoo, grooming items, nonperishable foods, healthy snack foods, unopened bottles of vitamins (glucosamine, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, fish oil, etc.), protein bars/powders, coffee, tea, note books, journals, sweats, socks, batteries (AAA, AA, C, D), tough dog toys (tug toys, fetch toys), healthy dog treats (NO dog food), or anything else you think a wounded warrior or their dog may enjoy.

Donated items will be accepted at the Central Division Station at 7000 65^th Street, Sacramento, during normal business hours.  If you're unable to drop-off, you can call Crime Prevention Specialist Laura Grossman at 916-876-8322 to arrange for a special pick up.
