Thank you to Stater Bros. Markets for providing shopping carts to Children's Fund to use during our Celebration of Giving campaign!

My son, Nathan, and I volunteered yesterday. It’s always an emotional time in the warehouse as the sheer number of toys shines a very bright light on the needs of our community, especially the needs of our younger population during the holidays. I got a really good sense of how important Children’s Fund is and what a simple toy can mean to a girl or boy. I hope it brings a lot of joy to each child that receives one. - David Glick David and Nathan Glick are two of our amazing volunteers for this year's Celebration of Giving.

Every year at this time(County Combined Giving Campaign), San Bernardino County Department of Child Support Services raises money for Children's Fund through department craft sales, root beer float sales, "wear jeans for the day", auctioning off close parking spots, and other fun ways. This year, with most staff working remotely, those methods won't work as well. DCSS got creative and decided to try something new. They're having a POP UP gourmet popcorn sale to raise funds.... 50% of your purchase will go to Children's Fund. THANK YOU to Child Support Services for your long standing support and to all of you who purchase one of these delicious bags of gourmet popcorn.
