Benefitting the Stanford Settlement as they assemble Christmas baskets for our neighbors who are in need. Drop off your items in the Jesuit High School parking lot (by the soccer field) 4660 Fair Oaks Blvd. Sacramento, CA
Stanford Settlement works “to help build healthy communities through individual, family and neighborhood services” in the Gardenland, North Sacramento, and Del Paso Heights neighborhoods. Some of their programs include after school programming and summer camps for children and teens, along with a comprehensive senior center. Our donations help provide food for our neighbors in need of some extra help through Stanford Settlement’s Christmas Basket program. Over 700 families who live around the Stanford Settlement will receive food donated through Operation Cratchit. We have partnered with the Stanford Settlement for the majority of the 56 years of our Food Drive!
