Superintendent outlines holiday food plan after Sunnyvale Education Foundation donation
Summary
The superintendent reported that the Sunnyvale Education Foundation raised $20,000 to help feed district families and described coordinated distribution plans with school social workers and Second Harvest for holiday periods.
Superintendent gave the district report and thanked the Sunnyvale Education Foundation for a rapid fundraising response to meal needs. He said the foundation "recaudaron 20000 dólares para proporcionar comida a nuestras familias" and described a multi-pronged outreach effort including surveys and school-based distribution points.
Staff outlined distribution logistics: two designated distribution days at Bishop and San Miguel, hybrid hot-meal and pickup options during winter break, and food boxes designed to cover nine days starting Nov. 21. The superintendent named Vanessa Escobar (coordinator), Diana Johnson (Bishop social worker) and Armando (outreach team) as staff leads for the effort. The district also plans to publish an updated list of local agencies and to provide physical flyers and staff outreach so families who are not on email lists can access support.
The superintendent asked the board to publicize the program so families could learn how to request help and noted the district would refine details as volunteer and partner capacity was confirmed.
