On December 15, 2012, the Los Nietos School District and the South East Los Angeles County (SELAC) Education Foundation successfully completed another year of the annual "Feed the Families" program. Over 130 Los Nietos families were invited to the Los Nietos School District office to receive a bag of donated items, including canned groceries, produce, and a frozen chicken. Although the event was on December 15th, the process of collecting, organizing, and bagging the food started two days earlier. District office staff collected the food that was donated by the four Los Nietos Schools as part of their annual canned food drive, and the food organizing began on December 14th. District office staff bagged the canned food in preparation for the December 15th distribution.
The Los Nietos School District Board of Trustees, district staff and their families, and community volunteers worked collectively to distribute canned food, produce, and bread products to the identified families in the district. At the end of the 3-hour food distribution, the remainder of the food was donated to a local church.
After the tragedy in Connecticut that took place on December 14th, the volunteers were glad to donate their time and energy to benefit the families in the Los Nietos School District. All volunteers felt there was no better way to get into spirit of the season than by helping families in the Los Nietos community and being thankful that their loved ones are safe and healthy this Christmas season.
