The Weaver Elementary School Ambassadors are celebrating the culmination of the Big Red Bucket, a holiday food drive in support of two important local organizations:
The Long Beach Rescue Mission and We CARE, located in Los Alamitos.
The Weaver Ambassadors, a leadership program at Weaver Elementary for fourth and fifth graders, challenged the entire student body to donate food for upwards of 100 holiday meals for the homeless receiving services at the Long Beach Rescue Mission via We CARE.
WE CARE is a local non-profit organization focused on providing families with the financial support they need to prevent them from becoming homeless. With the donation drive successfully completed, the Ambassadors are loading the Rescue Mission Truck today with the mountain of food collected.
This is the seventh year that the Weaver Ambassadors have sponsored the Big Red Bucket program, in addition to other important community programs.
