Dear Friends, Family, and all of my Community,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Sophia Mann, and I am pleased to announce my 9th annual Christmas Eve 'Chicken Run' Food and Clothing Drive in San Jose, CA.

Reflecting on the challenges of the past, including the pandemic, I am reminded of my fortune in having a loving family, good health, and a home. Sadly, not everyone is as fortunate and is able to share these blessings. This has driven me to assist those struggling without shelter by providing them with meals and clothing during Christmas.

Our plan has been expanding. We will purchase Costco Rotisserie chickens and warm clothing items for distribution to the homeless and those in need on Christmas Eve. In a generous act, my mother has pledged to match every donation.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for considering joining me and the SoJo Foundation in this endeavor. Together, let's spread compassion throughout our community during this season.

Warmest regards,

SoJo (Sophia Mann)
