The Club has adopted Longfellow Elementary School on Riverside’s east side. This involvement has included the following projects:

​​

• Dental Screening – Dentists who are members of the Club provided a free exam on approximately 900 students and provided them with tooth brushes and miscellaneous dental supplies.

• Food Drives – Each Christmas the club collects and distributes food baskets to 200 families. Last year that amounted to 8 tons of food. Plus we maintain a food cupboard at the school throughout the year to assure our students do not experience hunger during the year.

• We collected and distributed over 1,000 Gifts to needy students at Christmas.

• We have painted a map of the United States on the playground to help with geography lessons.

• We provided musical instruments so a music class could be started and supplement the purchase of additional instruments. The School now has an active band capable of playing at special events.
  We helped start a Cub Scout and Brownie Troop at the school and make uniforms available to those children that can’t afford one.

• Club members have read to the youngest students on a weekly basis.

• We have installed new playground equipment.

• We have provided and continue to provide sports equipment and playground aids.

• We provided school uniforms for families who could not afford them.

• We established and funded an innovative pre-school program which has become a State funded, district wide success
