Project 680 - THE NEXT STEP

In December the Socks & Gloves family helped to support something called Project 680. The goal was to raise a total of 680 pairs of socks for homeless students in the FCUSD, but the grand total was 3,144 pairs. Isn't that great?

Anyway, Project 680 is evolving and it is something that the Socks & Gloves family can get behind. There will be a community forum on March 11 with the District Liaison for Homeless Services of the Folsom Cordova District. We will be educated, have a Q&A time, and have group discussion. The hopeful outcome of the meeting is to have a greater understanding of what is going on locally with students as well as find simple ways to respond as a community to the problem of student homelessness. Please see www.cordovatowne.com/project680.html for details.

Feel free also to join the Project 680 Facebook page. Spread the word about Project 680 to any locals too and especially to residents of Rancho Cordova & Folsom. Thank you.
