So Many Ways to Love a Neighborhood

It was already in the planning stages - to put together snack bags for Susan B Anthony kids to enjoy on the first day of CST testing.  A little bag with a cute label, filled with something nutritious and fun from The Well Community Church - to encourage the kids to do well on their tests and let them know we think they are great! Saturday Sports volunteers have been providing treat bags for the kids the past couple years, but this year we decided to invite others who have a heart for this…

Summer Program at Ted C. Wills

Wills was a wonderful facility for the community to come together and we had a blast 'playing' alongside their volunteers. I think…

Community Meeting for the Neighbors

On Monday, January 25th, we held our second community meeting for the neighbors that live around Susan B Anthony School at the Ted C. Wills Community Center. The neighbors created the agenda for the meeting based on topics they wanted to see addressed. Using the concerns they brought up as a guideline, we were able to bring in speakers to discuss those issues. Representatives from the Fresno Police Department presented along with the S.P.C.A. This allowed the community members to express…
