|
A Sunnydale community event.
Date/Time: Thursday, August 17, 2017 from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Where: Sunnydale Community Room, 1654 Sunnydale Ave., San Francisco This project was a collaboration of all the service providers in the Sunnydale neighborhood to stress the importance of school and education. Among those present at the event were Mayor Edwin Lee and Police Chief William Scott. Mercy Housing led this joint effort. APA's Visitacion Valley Strong Families and the Boy & Girls Club were responsible for conceiving the event's educational component. Planning began in June. Flyers were distributed to Sunnydale's development as well as surrounding businesses to get the residents' attention. Each organization in the group had a hand in providing resources, prizes, and materials for the event. The event day started with residents of Sunnydale's development helping to clean up the neighborhood. After lunch, the kids received new backpacks, enjoyed games, and even got haircuts if so desired. Over 500 backpacks filled with school supplies were given out. Information for useful resources for the participating families was disseminated.
