Supervisor Chan supports Equipped for Success

Thank you Supervisor Chan!

This is a post AEF made in 2014 showing how Supervisor Wilma Chan was a long term supporter of Alameda Education Foundation, along with numerous other community organizations. She will be missed tremendously.

Supervisor Chan recently donated $3500 to the Equipped 4 Success school supply drive. Early childhood education is a critical element in Supervisor Chan’s “New War on Poverty” initiative. Supervisor Chan’s donation will support incoming Alameda low-income kindergarteners with backpacks and age appropriate supplies so they are ready to learn the first day of school.
