Spread Holiday Cheer with a New Toy and Coat for a Child in Need

December 12, 2020 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release


=The Robla School District in North Sacramento serves over 2,500 students ages 5-12 and many of these students and families are in need this holiday season. About 90% of the district's families live at or below the federal poverty line, with 20% of the students unable to call a permanent address home.

Enter Republic FC's Indomitable Fans. The club's generous fans have always answered the call to supporting the community - and now to close out the years, the Winter Wishlist drive looks to lift up the students and families in North Sacramento. This is a perfect opportunity to help our fellow Sacramentans and assist those less fortunate this holiday season.

A donation of a coat or unwrapped toy can help keep Robla children warm during the chilly winter season and make their holiday a little more cheerful. The importance of helping out our neighbors might be more vital than ever during the coronavirus pandemic and even just one coat or toy can make a difference in our community.

HOW CAN YOU DONATE?

As part of its Winter Wishlist, Republic FC is hosting a new coat and toy donation drive on Thursday, December 17th, from 10 am to 3 pm at Cal Expo's Main Gate.

Donors can drive-through and drop-off coats and toys while following health orders. Republic FC staff will be wearing masks and will assist with the drop-off without drivers having to get out of their car.

WHAT CAN YOU DONATE?

New and unwrapped toys for children aged 5-12 years old, and new coats and jackets with tags for children sized XS-XL,5-15, will be accepted and prepared to be delivered to families for the holiday season. The drive-thru drop-off will abide by local physical distancing guidelines and sanitation standards for all items.

DIRECTIONS TO CAL EXPO

Unable to make it on December 17th, not a worry. Five additional locations are accepting donations daily throughout the region. Monetary donations to purchase additional coats and toys are also accepted online. For more information on additional locations or making a credit card donation, visit SacRepublicFC.com/wishlist. =
