“Reach Out is dedicated to connecting our local community members to essential resources, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Director of Government and Community Relations Josie Gaytan.
“From donating cash to families and supporting vaccine clinics, our team continues to advocate for the wellbeing and health of Jurupa Valley residents,” she added. “We are excited for the opportunity to host a vaccine clinic in our own backyard.”
