UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY COVID-19 STYLE! |
Unity in the Community (UIC) looked a little different this year, but that didn't stop us from finding creative ways to connect with our community.
Our first ever drive-thru UIC event was a great success! We gave away free life jackets, backpacks, and approximately 2100 meals! These events are a great way to bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement, while enjoying a nice summer BBQ

Check out additional UIC photos! |

This October, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office participated in the Pink Patch Project. The Pink Patch Project is an innovative public awareness campaign designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and support cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease.
SAL sold commemorative Sheriff’s Office patches, challenge coins, and lapel pins to raise money for the Albie Aware Foundation.
SAL would like to thank everyone who made a purchase. All proceeds collected from the Pink Patch Project campaign will be donated directly to the Albie Aware Foundation.

School is back in session for the fall and Best Buddies is back via Zoom. During our meetings, we check in with each other and play games on Kahoot. We are gearing up welcoming new members and getting ready for new buddy pairs. Unified Sports is a day by day call, but we are optimistic. |
|
The Florin Law program is held via Zoom every morning. This program provides students with skills and opportunities to be competitive and successful in legal professions while acting as advocates in their communities. |
|
