GO BAGS – Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley

Santa Maria Valley Rotaract’s first project was a partnership with Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley. GO BAGS is an original class project from Leadership Santa Maria Valley 2013.

The project has continued  over the years providing “GoBags” with basic necessities for children in the Foster Care System in Santa Maria.

SMV Rotaract collected over 80 bags with the help of friends , family , and local business owners in the month of February. A special thank you to Transformation Butterfly  for helping us give back to the children of Santa Maria.
