Dear Dr. Escobar,
Thank you for providing dental hygine kits that we include in the backpacks we provide to needy students in south Santa Clara County. As you know, children in south Santa Clara County suffer disproportionally from poor oral heath, and any preventive measures (like dental hygine kits0 are always appreciated by parents.
The Ladies of Charity of Morgan Hill is proud to provides backpacks filled with school supplies to at-risk middle and high school students. Very few groups focus on these students as their backpacks need to be sturdier and require school supplies that differ from elementary students - these backpacks are significantly more expensive to fill.
This year we filled 250 backpacks which were distributed as follows:
Latino Family Fund of Gilroy Youth Program-50
Community Agency for Resources, Advocacy and Services-50
Gilroy and Morgan Hill Special Needs students-25
Ca-Soap of Gilroy and Morgan Hill Unified School District - 125
Thank you again for supporting the Ladies of Charity of Morgan Hill School Readiness Project.
