Randi’s Corner – Back to School

September means back to school. Assisting children with backpacks and school supplies is a priority. Working along side of Centre Clothes Corner which is run by The Volunteer League of The San Fernando Valley, we assist underprivileged children with getting new shoes, uniforms, underware, socks and new jacket. Taking some of the financial pressure off of families on a limited budget really helps and the children like getting the new clothes throughout the year!
