SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes will donate more than $21,000 to the Alum Rock Child Nutrition Program, helping provide free breakfast and lunch everyday Monday through Friday for all students that are a part of the Alum Rock Elementary School District. The district is comprised of 27 elementary and middle schools and nearly 12,000 students.
The Earthquakes organized a GoFundMe page, raising $10,510 in 12 days. The Quakes Foundation, the charitable arm of the club, will match every dollar raised, totaling $21,020.
“As the crisis deepens, our most vulnerable communities are facing a multitude of unique challenges, including a lack of nutritious and readily available meal options,” said Earthquakes director of community relations Rahul Devaskar.
