Canned Food Drive Collection for RUSD Holiday Baskets Now - Dec. 13

RUSD HOLIDAY BASKET PROGRAM

For more than 40 years, Rowland Unified School District has partnered with the Walnut Valley Rotary

and community groups to help RUSD families in need with a Holiday Basket Program that includes all

the necessary ingredients for holiday meal preparations. In addition to canned goods, families receive

fresh produce and dairy items.

Clubs; and the ASB and Student Leadership Clubs throughout the District, we are pleased to continue

the Holiday Basket Program in 2024.
