Along with the individuals aforementioned, we would also like to congratulate the graduating highschool seniors who are recipients of the The Matt Garcia Foundation – Keep the Dream Alive Scholarship: Allison Piring, Samantha Nita, Sasha Newton, Maekaelagil Santos, Bethany Qamer, Mariah Armstrong, Zach Christopher Belandres, Maverick Ganitno, Ashantae Williams, and Aaliyah Moreno Cortez. These recipients have received this support toward their higher education through the Assist-A-Grad Scholarship Foundation, which aims to support graduating high school seniors from the Fairfield-Suisun-Travis communities by connecting them with scholarship donors, such as The Matt Garcia Foundation. This form of recognition and support would not be a possibility without the generous help of our donors.

The individuals mentioned have dedicated their time, energy, and true compassion toward the betterment of our community through their volunteer efforts; many of them have volunteered with The Matt Garcia Foundation throughout their entire high school careers. Matt Garcia believed that the city of Fairfield could unite by instilling a sense of responsibility and care for one's community in all of its citizens. It is truly inspiring how this responsibility and care toward our community has been exemplified by these leaders at a young age. These individuals are illustrations of the image which Matt Garcia had for the youth in our community; they model the ambition and integrity that we all must have to not only better our community, but the world we live in.

How to properly put on and take off a mask.
Cloth face coverings are an additional step to help slow the spread of COVID-19 when combined with every day preventive actions and social distancing in public settings.
Wear your Face Covering Correctly
- Wash your hands before putting on your face covering
- Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
- Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face
- Make sure you can breathe easily
Take Off Your Cloth Face Covering Carefully, When You’re Home
- Untie the strings behind your head or stretch the ear loops
- Handle only by the ear loops or ties
- Fold outside corners together
- Place covering in the washing machine (learn more about how to wash cloth face coverings)
- Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth when removing and wash hands immediately after removing.
If you are in need of a mask let us know. Visit the website for contact information.
