To close out 2025, our club spread joy through service and literacy by
Donating hundreds of children’s books to Tolosa Dental for Children
Supporting KSBY’s Season of Hope with books and toys
Volunteering as Salvation Army bell ringers to help families in need.
January is a fresh page — a time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished and refocus on the good we can continue to do together. Thanks to you, we’re starting the year inspired, grateful, and motivated to keep serving our community.

Book Cart Delivery
Tolosa Dental for Children
📗🦷📘🦷📙
Because of you, Tolosa Dental for Children now has a book cart filled with
Several Hundred Gently Used Children’s Books
to share with their young patients.
Tolosa Dental for Children’s mission is to improve children’s oral health for low-income families across SLO County.
Now, every visit can include the joy of choosing a book.
The team was thrilled that many children will leave their appointments with both healthier smiles and a story to take home.

🎁 KSBY Season of Hope 🎁
Sending out a BIG THANK YOU to our donors for making this possible.
Altrusa of San Luis Obispo County generously supported KSBY’s Season of Hope on behalf of our foundation.
New books and toys were also included.
Bell Ringers 🔔 Salvation Army
Several club members volunteered as Salvation Army bell ringers this holiday season.
Our club was assigned Vons grocery store in Grover Beach.
Volunteers are the difference between an empty kettle…
and one that raises about $30 per hour
$30 can provide a family with:
🛍️ TWO 🛍️ bags of groceries
or
Shelter an individual for a night 🌛
Support our ongoing book drive by purchasing from our Amazon wish list.
Bilingual books are especially needed.
Your generosity in getting books to children is greatly appreciated.
