Ultimate Food Drive on July 4th

It’s a beautiful thing when people can come together to make a difference! A week ago today on July 4^th 2018 Operation Warm Wishes had the Ultimate Food Drive at Tustin High School. The goal was to fill a U-Haul Truck with food to help feed our Veterans, Families, Children and Homeless. For the fourth year in a row, we reached.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to EVERYONE who donated food and supported our food drive.

I remember as a high school student working at Rubio’s in the Tustin Market Place. I was homeless living at the Sunland Motel in Santa Ana. I would have to walk to motel late night after work to arrive at the room where me and my family were living to just eat a bag of chips from the vending machine. I would often cry. I understand the pain of going to bed hungry. I made a vow to always help feed those in need regardless of who you are.

On July 4^th we did not only collect food, but we came together with the purpose of making a difference! It was beautiful!
