A Message From Your Council Member… Cardenas Markets for their generous donation of $23,000 to Alvord CARES

I would like to thank Cardenas Markets for their generous donation of $23,000 to Alvord CARES. Alvord CARES is a program created to help Alvord Unified families and students in need. AUSD employees make personal donations to this program through payroll deductions. Thanks to Marco Robles from Cardenas, Emilio Ramirez from the City of Riverside, and AUSD Board Member Caroyln Wilson we were able to come together in a great partnership and receive this outstanding donation.
