RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - To celebrate Public Service Recognition Week, the Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) recently held their quarterly staff luncheon.

Continuing the spirit of service to lift up those around us, Cordova Recreation & Park District also organized a donation drive to support the Folsom Cordova Unified School District’s (FCUSD) Families in Transition (FIT) Services program. This program provides vital resources to families who are facing economic hardships that have resulted in homelessness, food insecurity, health concerns and a lack of resources.

Cordova Recreation & Park District staff collected essential hygiene and homecare items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, feminine hygiene products, razors, deodorant, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper. Thanks to the generosity of staff, more than 400 items were donated to support families in need.

This donation drive builds on Cordova Recreation & Park District’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community. Earlier this year, staff raised more than $1,400 for the Families in Transition services program. Cordova Recreation & Park District looks forward to continuing their partnership with Folsom Cordova Unified School District and remaining dedicated to uplifting and supporting those they serve. 

Community members are encouraged to support the important work of the Families in Transition Services program, which continues to welcome contributions.
