Back 2 School Drive
It’s back to school time and the Greater Los Angeles African American Chamber of Commerce Education Fund & Foundation is proud to host its first Back 2 School Drive. So many foster care children attend school without the necessary tools to enhance their learning experience. School supplies will be collected at the Chamber facilities from August 3rd to September 3rd and will be provided to the students of the Southern California Foster Family and Adoption Agency.
