Gearing Up For Back To School

This year, we partnered with Kohls Cares to take ten Griset youth shopping for back-to-school essentials. They had a blast shopping for backpacks, water bottles, lunch boxes, and clothes! Thank you, Kohls Cares, for making our youth excited to go back to school!

Thanks to Assemblymember District 77 Tasha Boehner and Cox Communications, we distributed 250 backpacks filled with essential school supplies at our La Colonia Clubhouse for youth in our community.

Thank You Rubio's Oceanside
