Children received backpacks Thanks to the Women's Auxiliary
Recently, The Salvation Army Orange County distributed 120 backpacks with school supplies to children. Along with the backpacks, each child was also offered books to support their reading throughout the upcoming school year, a Halloween costume, and the families received a personal prayer from Pastor Harvey, who prayed for their upcoming school year.
Along with donations from the Tustin Ranch Church, the Orange County Fire Authority, and the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation, Auxiliary member donated backpacks and supplies. They also assisted with the setup, and together with the Tustin Ranch Church, provided volunteers to help organize and distribute the backpacks.
