Inland Empire Job Corps Center Delivers Thanksgiving Baskets to Muscoy Elementary

Inland Empire Job Corps (IEJC) Center staff and students joined forces to bring a Thanksgiving feast to the less fortunate in the community. Twenty families were adopted from Muscoy Elementary School and provided with Thanksgiving baskets containing turkeys, beans, canned corn, green beans, pasta, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other items. Claudia Lopez of Inland Empire Job Corps shared, "We wanted to bring good spirits and good food to the families in need during these hard times." Workers assembled the Thanksgiving baskets Nov. 19. Then, the next day, Nov. 20, Inland Empire Job Corps students personally delivered each basket to Muscoy Elementary in San Bernardino. According to Lopez, the idea came about during a recent interaction with Muscoy Elementary School Principal Dana Venable. "We talked to her about the idea, and she immediately let us know those specific families that would benefit the most from these baskets," Lopez said. In their first step, IEJC put on a food drive to collect canned goods to create 20 Thanksgiving baskets filled with traditional holiday treats. The goal of this event and many of the other missions of the Inland Empire Job Corps is to appreciate and support the community in various ways. "By participating in this project, the students were able to see the difference they were making by simply helping many families with baskets filled with food and we were able to make this holiday a little easier for those families," Lopez shared.
