In 2008 the Folsom Cordova Unified School District had 680 documented cases of “homeless” students. And that number has continued to grow. It’s hard to grasp that so many local kids are struggling with something as basic as a stable place to live.
The Good News is that many good-hearted people and organizations are working to help these young people. One of these is Project 680 which was named after the aforementioned number.
They started with a sock drive in December 2008. Their goal was to collect 680 pairs of socks. They were overwhelmed with generosity from our community and saw 3,144 pairs of socks come in. Local residents, neighborhoods, organizations, churches, and businesses all teamed up to make this happen.
They are continuing their efforts with a Hoodie Drive this year. Visit Project680.org for more information about how YOU can help.
