Xmas for Ravenswood School District

Donation protected
SGC Financial & Insurance Services has partnered with Ravenswood School District in East Palo Alto for the 3rd consecutive year to provide support for underprivileged children during the holiday season. 

The need has nearly doubled since last year.  Roughly 1/3 of Ravenswood’s students are classified as homeless.  These children do not have stable living situations.  At best, they have temporary housing solutions through homeless shelters, "doubled-up" multi-family homes, and short-term hotels.   With housing and other necessities as a priority, the holiday season ends up being neglected.

We are partnering with other local organizations to help make the holidays a little extra special for those who are not as fortunate as we are.  The money donated will provide toys, treats, and a visit from Santa Claus for the 400+ homeless K-3rd graders.  

Please scroll to the top of the page and click the "Donate Now" button.

While bringing the holidays to those less fortunate than ourselves makes a huge impact, we realize that providing a holiday celebration for the at-risk youth does little to solve the systemic problem.  Therefore, any excess contribution will be sent to the Ravenswood Education Foundation (REF).  REF supports volunteer after-school programs, “adopt a teacher”, library and literacy support, as well as a science initiative.  Please also consider donating directly to Ravenswood Education Foundation.
