In the spirit of the holiday season, our team at Give Something Back and Rica embarked on a heartfelt mission to ensure that no Giveback student felt alone during Christmas. With the generous support of our community members and partners like Rite Aid and One Simple Wish, we organized a special holiday party dedicated to over 25 Give Something Back scholarship students who found themselves without a place to go.


Nestled within the walls of the Resiliency Institute for Childhood Adversity in Loma Linda, our headquarters, we turned our focus towards creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our students.


Every detail of the event was meticulously planned and executed by our team. From gathering donations to decorating the space, we poured our hearts into creating a festive environment filled with love and joy. It was a labor of love, driven by our unwavering dedication to our students.

The Optimist Club of Redlands played a crucial role in making this day possible. Their sponsorship allowed the students to experience a day filled with growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories. The event at UCR Riverside was a testament to the power of community, resilience, and the incredible potential of young minds when given the opportunity to thrive.
