'Stuff the Bus' with Holiday Gifts for Low-Income Kids

The annual Children’s Fund toy drive happens at the Serramonte Center on Saturday.

Make this holiday season special for low-income and foster youth in San Mateo County by tossing a few gifts into the bus Saturday.

The Children’s Fund "Stuff the Bus" Toy Drive at the Serramonte Center will raise donations for 3,500 needy children in the county.

People are asked to bring donations of new toys, games, sporting goods and gift cards to the event. Many children and youth request the most essential needs, such as new clothing, sporting goods and school supplies, while their parents often ask for baby food and diapers.

Santa Claus, San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne J. Tissier, Congresswoman Jackie Speier and dozens of community members, will be at the event to kick off the festivities. 

"Stuff the Bus" will be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at 133 Serramonte Center (near Target) in Daly City. To volunteer or make a donation, contact the San Mateo County’s Children’s Fund at (650) 802-5152, childrensfund@smchsa.org or www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/childrensfund.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
