What is it?

Raymond's part in the Fullerton Council of PTAs' Holiday Community Program, an annual Toy & Food Drive run in partnership with Pathways of Hope.

Why it matters

Now in its 40th year, this program brings holiday food and gifts to hundreds of Fullerton families and thousands of children, made possible through a partnership between the Fullerton Council of PTAs, the school district, and community organizations across the city. It's one of the most direct ways our school shows up for other families right here in our own district.

How You Can Help

Each fall, Raymond runs a Toy & Food Drive on campus (in past years, collection bins outside the office, or a friendly class-vs-class can drive). We also send 4-5 volunteers to help other Fullerton families shop for gifts at the Pathways of Hope Distribution Center, and a small team handles delivering everything our community donates. Pathways of Hope sends the full schedule each November, with sign-ups opening shortly after.

If your own family could use support this holiday season, reach out to Raymond's Social Services Assistant, Elisabeth Aguayo, who can connect you with Pathways of Hope's resources.
