Community Volunteers
SUMMARY
GFT would not be able to meet our goals without the support of the South Bay community. Many diverse groups support us through donations and volunteering. These include corporations, major sports teams, schools, service clubs, foundations, and individuals.

TEENS HELPING TEENS
Local high school students have pitched-in to both gather donations and volunteer to put together the duffels.
Pioneer High School has a student club that write a personal note of support and encouragement to place in each bag for the boy or girl who receives it. These notes have received tremendous positive feedback from the GFT teens.

I love the items and the people who wrote the letter really made my mood better. I feel better. It meant a lot for me. It made my whole day good.
