Backpack Giveaway
Backpack Giveaway at the Sunnydale Community Room was on August 16. At least 300 backpacks were given away at this community event. Visitacion Valley Strong Families, our family support center, ran a photo booth. Visitors had fun “dressing up” and posing, each received a picture as memento as well as information about our programs. There were performances from children, teenagers, and a Zumba group.
