The holiday spirit is alive and well in Sacramento, thanks to the heartwarming collaboration between Sacramento Republic FC and Downtown Ford. This year, they’ve teamed up for the Winter Wishlist Donation Drive, aiming to spread joy to the families of the Robla School District. Located in North Sacramento, this community faces significant challenges, with over 90% of its residents living below the federal poverty line.
In this sixth year of the initiative, the groups delivered toys and coats to children and families, ensuring that everyone could feel the warmth of the season. Cathryn Luna from Sacramento Republic FC expressed gratitude for the chance to partner with the school district, emphasizing the importance of accessibility—every child deserves a new coat and a toy to unwrap during the holidays.
Sacramento City Councilmember Lisa Kaplan captured the essence of this charitable endeavor, stating, “This is a season of hope and a season of joy.” It’s incredible to see local organizations stepping up to make a real difference, reminding us that sometimes the biggest gifts are those that come from the heart. After all, wouldn’t it be amazing if every holiday season felt this heartwarming?
