They handed out $125 JCPenney gift cards to the kids ages 5 through 18. Money in hand, the kids walked alongside their moms or dads to pick new clothes and shoes. With $125 gift cards provided in part by a donation of $7,000 from Pechanga Resort Casino, kids could shop before the store opened and pick out items that fit them and their style.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the department store with their new threads, the children then made their way over to pick a backpack of their choice filled with back-to-school supplies as well as three books to bring home, courtesy of the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation. Each family also received a small bag of groceries from the Salvation Army food pantry and a $25 grocery gift card.<\/p>\n<p>Children were selected from the four local school districts of Temecula, Murrieta, Menefee, Lake Elsinore, children that work with Salvation Army who need assistance, and children from domestic violence shelters.<\/p>\n<p>Learning and behavior experts say wearing newer and good-fitting cloths can make all the difference for kids. Not only do they feel better about themselves, they feel more confident and comfortable and often perform better in school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEMECULA, Calif. \u2013 (August, 2022) \u2013 With the sun setting on Summer break, many students in the Inland Empire region found themselves back in class starting Monday, August 15.
