(DISTRIBUTION + CLOTHES SWAP)
Hi Everyone!
This month’s Essential Outreach distribution will be first come, first served – no sign-up sheet. Sunday, July 27th at the RC Family Center in Watsonville at 1p.
1205 Freedom Blvd Unit 3B, Watsonville, CA 95076

La distribución de este mes se realizará por orden de llegada; no se requiere hoja de inscripción. Domingo 27 de julio en el Centro Familiar RC en Watsonville a las 1 p. m.
1205 Freedom Blvd Unit 3B, Watsonville, CA 95076

Important: This month’s distribution will be first come, first served – no sign-up sheet. This is because the distribution will be happening alongside a community clothing swap, and we want to make it as accessible as possible for everyone attending.

We look forward to seeing you there and sharing essentials with our neighbors.

Estimada comunidad:

Les escribimos para informarles que nuestra próxima distribución de artículos esenciales se llevará a cabo el domingo 27 de julio en el Centro Familiar RC en Watsonville a las 1 p. m.

Les informamos que, por ahora, solo podemos realizar distribuciones cada dos meses debido a la escasez de fondos. Agradecemos su comprensión y apoyo continuo mientras trabajamos para atender al mayor número de familias posible.

Importante: La distribución de este mes se realizará por orden de llegada; no se requiere hoja de inscripción. Esto se debe a que la distribución se realizará junto con un intercambio de ropa comunitario y queremos que sea lo más accesible posible para todos los asistentes.

Esperamos verlos allí y compartir artículos esenciales con nuestros vecinos.

Thank you!
