On this #GivingTuesday we are thankful for our partnership with The Knights of Columbus.

Over the last few years this organization has partnered with #Foundation4Central and has helped provide food, coats, and resources to our Central Unified School District students and their families. This past week, the Knights and Foundation selected 10 families to receive all the fixings for a beautiful Thanksgiving meal. Our Central Liaisons helped distribute the food and families were greeted with pie, turkey and everything in between.

Thank you again to our amazing partners, The Knights of Columbus. You are a true #GivingTuesday story!
