RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) – The Cordova Recreation & Park District’s (CRPD) Community Engagement Program continues with a Sock and Underwear Drive! The Community Engagement Program, led by CRPD General Manager Patrick Larkin, is a program that focuses on giving back to the community.

“I’m proud of our generous and caring CRPD staff for their continued support for the unhoused students in our community. Many of the CRPD staff are residents of Rancho Cordova so this opportunity to work with FCUSD for the students in need has special meaning,” said Larkin.  “We look forward to more opportunities to work in partnership with FCUSD to make the community stronger and to meet the needs of our most vulnerable youth.”

Throughout September, CRPD collaborated with the Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) to collect socks and underwear for students in need. On September 21, 2022, CRPD staff presented FCUSD with over 800 articles of clothing for students.

“We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the Cordova Recreation and Park District.  Because of your generosity, the basic needs of our most vulnerable students are being met,” said Director of Social Emotional Learning and Educational Equity Dr. Iyuanna Pease. “Your valued partnership helps us eliminate barriers to learning.  Again, we send a heartfelt thank you for your kindness and partnership.”

CRPD is proud to collaborate with FCUSD to help support local students.
