This past April, Food 4 Less hosted our annual Golf till You Drop golf tournament in Arizona. A portion of the proceeds from that tournament went to the Children’s Home of Stockton.

Each year, the Children’s Home of Stockton provides youth with comprehensive educational and therapeutic services as well as guidance and career coaching for independent living in our homeless prevention program - Catalyst for youth 18-24. Their vision is to cultivate a compassionate environment that promotes self-sufficiency and well-being to the youth and young adults they serve.

Last week we presented the CEO-Joelle Gomez with a $5,000 check. A BIG thank you to all of our vendors who participated in the golf tournament to make this donation possible.

To find out more on the Children’s Home of Stockton, visit them at chstockton.org.
