Trader Joe’s in Hillcrest

Every week Trader Joe's in Hillcrest donates food to the League. Thanks to them, we rarely have to purchase breads, muffins or sweet treats for the homes. We have shared some incredible meals built on their donations of fine meats, fish, vegetables and fruits.

 

Bill & Debbie Pollakov - Bikes for Kids Foundation

Once again this Christmas the Pollakov’s donated brand new bikes for our little sisters! Twenty grateful young girls received a brand new bicycle and bike helmet. In the words of one of our big sisters, Jeani Buchanan, “It’s really amazing how much a bike means to a child.” We thank the Pollakovs for giving something so generous to our little sisters that we wouldn’t otherwise have been able to give them!
