El Segundo Cares
El Segundo Cares was recently awarded
a Certificate of Appreciation from the Los
Angeles Department of Student Affairs,
Medical Center. This award and recognition
is shared by the very generous donations
given by the community and the volunteers
who deliver the items to the veterans. It is
a well-deserved award. No one is paid in
money, only in happiness for helping our
vets in need. Well done El Segundo.
