Every year in Sacramento County hundreds of students are expelled from school because of involvement in on-campus violence. Many of these instances of violence involve weapons. In order for these students to be readmitted to their schools, especially in cases reaching the court system, they must successfully complete a sanctioned violence prevention program. Project SAVE (Safe Alternatives and Violence Education) is one such program. It is a program that needs the public’s help and support.
Twin Lakes Food Bank is collecting backpacks and school supplies for students in need again this year. In 2009, 548 backpacks were needed and the goal for 2010 is an even 600. With help from the community, Twin Lakes will be able to serve under-resourced children for the coming school year.
The backpacks will contain a Payless Shoe Source (no cash back) gift card, a package of new socks, a dental kit, and a bag full of nutritious food from Raleys Food for Families program.
