Elementary students, grades K – 5, visit our store and, with the help of their “personal shopper”, select new clothing, including jacket, socks and underwear. They also receive a shoe voucher and at least one new book. Their smiles as they leave are as big as the bags they are carrying!
According to the National Eye Institute, approximately 2 to 3 out of every 100 children have “lazy eye” (or other visual acuity deficiencies). Our trained members screen approximately 600 Tri-Valley preschools for vision acuity. Between 5-15 children are referred for further testing by a professional.
Our members can be found at the Pleasanton Nursing & Rehabilitation Center or Pleasanton Senior Center, organizing and leading social activities, serving lunch, or managing the magazine library. In addition, we participate in Book Buddies where members and seniors are paired up with second graders from local elementary school children for reading sessions.
