On Saturday May 1 volunteers from Escalon extended a helping hand for our Escalon C.A.R.E. facility and the assembling of 160 Care Kits to go to the 33 million people living with HIV and AIDS. These people are in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The kits go to World Vision-trained volunteer caregivers to help those in need. The Caregive Kits are filled with basic medicinal supplies and a backup kit to extend the kit for a year.

This year the Escalon C.A.R.E. facility was cleaned and new storage units were purchased. Volunteers gathered at the facility and installed four (needed) new shelving and storage units. They also cleaned the entire facility including the floors. Then the stock on hand was organized and placed into the new storage units.
It was a good day for all, and much was accomplished by the volunteers from our community.
Thank you everyone for your help this year on our “Faith In Action Day.”
