Your Tiny Tickets Help
Do you have leftover BART Tickets with a few cents on them? These "tiny tickets" can be converted to help needy families purchase their children's eyeglasses, medical equipment, medications, etc.
The East Bay Community Foundation will reimburse us with vouchers which can be distributed to our neediest families. Your small donations add up and can help our low-income families considerably.
Just drop off or mail your Tiny Tickets to Davinder Atwal, Fremont FRC, 39155 Liberty St. #A110, P.O. Box 5006, Fremont, CA 94537. For questions, call Davinder at 574-2026. Thank you!
