Giving Thanks for Giving Tuesday
Nearly $17,000 was raised for Los Rios students during Giving Tuesday this year! Thanks to generous donations from across the district, the Los Rios Colleges Foundation raised an incredible $16,777.27, far surpassing our goal of $10,000. These funds mean that many of our most vulnerable students will have the support they need this holiday season through Los Rios Cares.
Under the Cares programs at the colleges, students have access to services such as the Emergency Hotel Program, the Student Emergency Fund, textbook scholarships, our food pantries and so much more. Thank you to those who donated for making the season brighter for our students.
