Last week PLAY for the Future had the opportunity to join STAND4 Global in a distribution of resources to youth in need at Castro Elementary School. ⚽️🏀

80% of students at Castro Elementary are economically disadvantaged and 20% are homeless. We are so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to distribute sports equipment to these kids, hoping to give them the chance to just be kids and play sports.

Thank you STAND4 for hosting this incredible distribution 🙌. And THANK YOU to our student volunteers from Mt. View Academy @mtn.view.academy who assisted us in distributing equipment! ❤️

Join us to make a difference - one ball at a time.
