West Valley Community Services at 10104 Vista Drive in Cupertino has been devastated by recent funding cuts.  People who used to be donors are now clients.   CEA is hoping our members will be a part of a relationship with this worthy charity that is smack in the middle of our district.  The needs of these clients are many......these are our parents and our students, and we can help them.  This is a great way to raise our profile throughout the district and it's the right thing to do.

Some ideas on how we can all help are:

-Condiment collection (they get food donated but no salt, pepper, soy sauce, etc.)

-Tote bag drive (to help clients who come to pick up food)

-Household item donations (cleansers, etc.)

-Diapers

-Sponsor a family

-Toy collection for the holidays

-Non-perishable food donations
