Students benefitted Sunday from two generous people who are working hard to make a difference in the community with what they call “The Giveaway.”

Tara Cruz graduated from Sem Yeto’s Young Mothers program and as a young parent she found herself utilizing county programs, including backpack giveaways.

“I have always held a job since I was 14, but there were still times that my job wasn’t paying enough for me to take care of my daughter and pay bills so I went back to school to further my education,” she said.
