December 11, 2024 (press release) –
Arnold Chong, local Chick-fil-A Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Sunnyvale, sponsored the program at The King’s Academy because he understands the tangible impact it creates in his local community.
“This packing event was an incredible opportunity for these young leaders to see how their efforts can make a real impact in their own neighborhood,” said Arnold. “Our goal was not just to pack grocery and cleaning kits, but to show these students that their actions matter. Our hope is that by participating in this activation, these students will be inspired to continue giving back to their communities for years to come.”
The packed bags assembled during the event will provide crucial support for families facing food insecurity and other challenges, offering both nourishment and essential care items during the holiday season. Packed bags included shelf-stable items, such as cereal, beans, canned goods and pasta, as well as paper towels, disinfectant wipes, all-purpose cleaner and more. The items will be distributed to families in the local community through six local nonprofits:Sunnyvale Community Services, Downtown Streets Team, Cops Care Cancer Foundation, Martha's Kitchen, West Valley Community Services and CityTeam San Jose.
