A food fundraiser for those incarcerated at California Institution for Men (CIM) raised almost $4,000 to be donated to a community charity.
Run by Inmate Advisory Councils and coordinated by the Community Resource Manager’s office, the fundraiser netted $3,948. The funds went to the Chino Neighborhood House. The non-profit organization provides food, clothing, and hygiene supplies to residents in need.
(Learn more about the charity at their website.)
The organization’s president thanked CIM staff and the incarcerated population for the donation.
CIM has collaborated with the Chino Neighborhood House throughout the years. One example is a project involving the charity dropping off brand-new bicycles at CIM. There, the vocation program training participants assemble them for local children.
