Today we went to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford to drop off our bags of books and $100 in monetary donations, as well as the $80 we acquired online. As a recap, we had gone door to door asking for new/gently used books as well as monetary donations. We would like to thank everyone who donated a million times over- we had so much fun doing this and made a huge impact on the lives of many children who now have books to read while they are in a difficult situation. Additionally, the money will go toward funding research and resources for the Children's Heart Center. As we said, we had an amazing experience through this project and it really made a difference. A huge thank you to our supporters, Ms. Slagel at LPCH and the kids who are so incredibly strong. We will announce our next project very soon :)

Update:
We have collected 5 bags of cans, many books and around $200 in monetary donations thus far! The cans will be donated to Sunnyvale Community Center, while the money will be given to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, and the books will be disinfected and donated to LPCH as well. We are so excited to see the total result of everyone's generous donation! Thank you to our donors- without your support and trust, we would never have been able to make the change we did. Now, a few more kids will have books to read on their scary stay at the hospital. Now, a few more people will have food to eat. And now, a few more lives have been touched. Thank you again, and we will be announcing our next project shortly!
On 1/2/16, we went to StandUp for Kids Silicon Valley, a shelter that provides resources for homeless children in the Bay Area. We dropped off care packages we had made that consisted of toothbrushes, deodorant, granola bars, fruit snacks, and gum. These resources will go to teens and children in need of these resources! This was our first project of many more to come - a great start to 2016.
