ART4KIDS awards $5,000 to Laguna Food Pantry 

The Laguna Food Pantry is honored to be chosen by the ART4KIDS Board of Directors to receive $5,000. Laguna Food Pantry is one of five local nonprofits out of 55 organizations considered for this special gift. Pam Schader, the founder and driving force behind ART4KIDS, recently passed away, and its Board elected to disband the organization. Jean Vivrette, President of ART4KIDS Board of Directors, delivered donated art supply packets and the generous check to the Laguna Food Pantry in Pam’s memory.
