President’s Message

Dear Friends,

Last summer, nearly 1,000 backpacks were given to students throughout Ventura County thanks to the generosity of our loyal contributors. Our 10th Annual Stuff the Bus collection ends today, and we invite you to participate at a variety of locations to help us make this year the most successful yet! For many struggling families in our community affording school supplies is a financial hardship. Your participation in this year’s drive will ensure local children have the tools they need for the beginning of the school year.

At our Annual Meeting held on Thursday, June 27, we welcomed 4 new outstanding community leaders to our Board of Directors. We are honored to have them join us at a pivotal time in our history to advance the common good.

Our goal is to create a diverse Board, including, but not limited to, racial, ethnic, geographic, professional, governmental, and business considerations. Join us in embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion for every person in our community.

In service,
