Bonnes Meres auxiliary serves Children’s Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting at-risk children in San Bernardino County. Bonnes Meres and Children's Fund work to ensure that at-risk children who are abused, neglected, impoverished, or abandoned receive adequate food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education.
“I am happy we can give this money in confidence and that this will go to the children,” shared Peister.
The money raised from the auxiliary’s fund-an-item at the luncheon was approximately $6,000 and is designated to help support the ongoing needs at the assessment center.
