'Pico We Care’ Project Delivers Essential Items to Vulnerable Community Members
“The Pico Neighborhood Association (PNA) and Pico Youth & Family Center (PYFC) have joined forces to deliver packages of groceries and essential items to local seniors and families in need.
The idea for the Pico We Care initiative came from Ashil Srivastava who is a PYFC youth leader and 11th grader at Samohi.
“It’s very hard for senior citizens to go to the grocery store because of coronavirus”, stated Srivastava, “so we wanted to find a way to eradicate that risk and also make groceries available to those who couldn’t afford them”.
Srivastava, alongside a team of PNA and PYFC volunteers, has delivered 160 packages to community members since April. The packages consist of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, rice, beans, oatmeal, fruit, and tea.”
