SAN DIEGO - Nearly 4,000 school-aged homeless children in San Diego County are now able to start their
academic year with much-needed school supplies, thanks in part to a five-week donation campaign led
by the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) and supported by California Coast Credit Union.
Through SDCOE grant funds and community donations, a total of 3,975 backpacks filled with supplies
