This fall, the Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) used their Annual Staff Appreciation gathering as an opportunity to further support the local community through their Community Engagement Program. In a continued effort to support Folsom Cordova Unified School District’s (FCUSD) Families in Transition (FIT) Services program, CRPD Board Members and staff collected essential self-care items for families in the school district facing housing instability and other challenges.
Donations included clothing items such as socks, underwear and t-shirts, as well as vital toiletry items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, feminine products, razors, brushes and deodorant. In total, CRPD gathered more than 500 items to donate to the FIT Services program.
CRPD has demonstrated a continued commitment to supporting the families of FCUSD, as exemplified by their last staff donation drive in which they collected over 700 items for students returning to school in the fall. CRPD hopes to continue to support the FIT Services Program and FCUSD in uplifting and supporting the families of Rancho Cordova.
Though the FIT Services program accepts essential supplies, monetary donations also allow the program to better support the community and continue to provide an essential array of resources to families in need.
