Felix Y. Manalo Foundation, Inc. returns to provide more resources to families in U.S-Mexico Border Town
WHAT: 400 care packages filled with school supplies, blue light blocking glasses, a blanket, and snacks will be offered at a drive-thru community outreach event of the Felix Y. Manalo (FYM) Foundation, Inc., the charitable institution of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC or Church Of Christ).
Students and families of Willow Elementary and Sunset Elementary, two schools selected by the San Ysidro School District that are in most need, are invited to receive their care package between 2-4 PM, Oct. 30 at Vista Del Mar Middle School.
