✂️ Fresh Cuts✂️ Yesterday was about so much more than haircuts. It was about community, kindness, confidence, and making sure every child walked into the new school year feeling their very best. ❤️

A HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU to Becca,Bobby, Jasmine, Michael,and Sasha for coming together and working your magic in those chairs! You each have an incredible gift, and yesterday you used that gift to give back. Those scissors and clippers didn’t stop until the very last cut was finished! ✂️ The smiles, the fresh cuts, and the confidence on these kiddos’ faces said it all. Your time and talent were truly a blessing to our community. It takes special people to give so freely of themselves, and we are incredibly grateful for each of you. Here’s to a GREAT school year!

When a community comes together beautiful things happen. ❤️✂️📚

📚 Back-to-School Shopping was in full effect! ✏️

The children picked out their favorite things and filled their baskets with everything they needed to start the new year. From shoes and shorts and all the little extras, each child had a volunteer by their side helping make their shopping experience extra special.

To our amazing volunteers THANK YOU! Your time, patience, kindness, and the smiles you shared with each child are what make this event so meaningful. You didn’t just help fill baskets; you helped fill hearts and reminded the children that their community is cheering them on.

A huge thank you to Walmart for continuing to support this wonderful event and helping us make a difference for local families year after year. To all of our children heading back to school: Dream big, work hard, be kind, and know that your community believes in you!

Here’s to new beginnings, new adventures, and an AMAZING school year! 🎒✏️📚

From all of us at the Lucia Ornelas Foundation have a wonderful back-to-school! ❤️

Friday was all about bringing families together for an evening of fun, laughter, and plenty of splashing at the Lucia Family Pool Day.

As summer comes to a close, we wanted to give our families one last opportunity to slow down, enjoy the sunshine, feel the cool breeze, and make special memories together before the excitement of a new school year begins.

Events like these remind us that it’s not just about providing a day of fun it’s about strengthening our community, creating smiles, and letting every child know they are loved and supported.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who continues to support the Lucia Ornelas Foundation. Your generosity, encouragement, and belief in our mission make moments like this possible. We couldn’t do it without you.

“The greatest gift we can give our children is not things, but memories, love, and time together.” ❤️

We would like to thank the YMCA and the amazing lifeguards for making this a safe and wonderful experience.

The smiles said it all! Thank you, Bianca and Derick Salinas, for bringing Buzz and Woody to life and making our Toy Story 5 event even more magical.

All the littles were so surprised and excited when Buzz and Woody showed up in person! There’s nothing quite like seeing your favorite characters go from the big screen to real life. The hugs, smiles, and excitement created memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for helping make this day so special for our children and families. 💙✨
