Ever wonder what to give someone for their birthday…

How about a donation in their name?

Singh and Ritu decided to help others by purchasing food and donating it to the San Lorenzo Family Help Center as a way to celebrate Singh’s birthday. 

We appreciate their open heart and celebrating through the gift of food donation.
