One of CACS’ longtime commitments to our API community is helping school age children through our Care for Kids 2021 Program. We worked in partnership with Kevin Thai, Deputy Director, of the Sacramento Chinese Community Service Center (SCCSC), donating funds to benefit the Centers’ afterschool programs at 4 designated schools in South Sacramento with much-needed school supplies, sporting and playground equipment.

On September 24th, Joyce Eng and I met with Kevin, Shannon Roth, Youth Development Director, David Constancio, Coordinator, and Victoria Todorvitch, Recruitment Manager, to present them with a check for $4,000! This would not have been possible without the generous donations from our community organizations, private donors, and the CACS Foundation.

A big thank you goes to the following donors: Asian Resources, Inc., CAPITAL, Bill Eng, Joyce & Alex Eng, Aubrie Fong, Brenda Fong, Spencer Fong, Roger & Florence Fong, Douglas Hsia, Dr. Dick Huang, General Produce Company, Jeanie Lee, Betty J. Louie, Franc Martinez, Sylvia Minnick, Charlie Moy, Aileen Nitta, County Board Supervisor, Don & Brenda Nottoli, Lonnie Wong, William Wong, Merlayna & Frank Chin, and Karun Yee.

On behalf of our donors and the CACS Foundation, we commend SCCSC (since 1974) for providing assistance to immigrants and refugees, and your continued efforts to assist the children and their families in times of need.
