Fausto Vega wins the Christmas Tree Raffle!


At the beginning of this month the annual Hometown Holidays event took place in Downtown Redwood City. In the weeks leading up to the event, SRS was a ‘drop-spot’, collecting books, toys and donations for the Redwood City Toy and Book Drive. On the day of the event SRS set up its own booth to sell wreaths, reindeer and raffle tickets for a Christmas Tree Giveaway courtesy of Honey Bear Trees. All the proceeds went to the Toy and Book Drive. The day was full of community and cheer- Holiday music, laughing children the smell of SRS fresh wreaths. Fire and Police both stopped by the SRS booth to show their appreciation for our support to the cause. They even jumped in and started selling wreaths themselves! At the end of the day, we were able to donate a bursting barrelful of toys and $775 in profit. The Christmas Tree found a happy home with the raffle winner Fausto Vega of Redwood City. Mr. Vegas children were ecstatic to find out they had actually won the tree they had coveted all day! Dante Vega told his father how he prayed they would win the tree and here it is, a Christmas miracle! SRS is proud to be a part of such a special gift and an amazing charity organization that provides so much happiness in our community. Thank you so much to the Redwood City community and those who contributed!

Successful Toy and Book Drive!
