Novo Nordisk, an international company with an office in Rancho Cordova, dropped by 238 pairs of underwear within the past two weeks. Our new grand total for the Project 680 Underwear Drive is now 3,198 pairs of underwear!!!! We don’t expect any more donations, so this is most likely the final number. Thank you Novo Nordisk and Lisa for your leadership in getting together collections.

So many of us these days are feeling the sting of the current economy, but we have managed to find a way to meet a practical need for students deemed homeless by providing new underwear for them. It has been remarkable to see households and organizations reach into their pockets to advocate for these students – even when many of us are struggling financially ourselves. That’s truly the good stuff in life on so many levels. Thank you everyone for your heart to care for local homeless students. Thank you for embracing this practical cause. Thank you for taking a stand for kids in Rancho Cordova and Folsom. 

May we continue to learn to become people who regularly and creatively discover practical ways to empower students to rise far above their circumstances.

Thank you to the Rancho Cordova Family Game Show Night and all its participants that gave pencils and pens toward local students. The brains behind the Family Game Show (Rick) came up with an idea to ask audience members to collect pencils and pens for local students (the 680). We appreciate people’s generosity and we will gladly accept whatever ends up coming our way. Thank you everyone!!!

It doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to make a difference, but only a little intention. Let’s keep discovering practical and relevant ways to stand behind local homeless students to empower them.
