Legends FC

The Kidcare clothing drive was a great success, bringing in over 11,000 pounds of clothing. Thanks to all that supported this worth while community service activity and fundraiser for the club. We had such a positive turnout LegendsFC has been given the opportunity to have another pickup on Tuesday, July 26 and Thursday, July 28 at Ayala park during our all club practice session. So save up your clothing and let your friends and relatives know they can still help out.

Kidcare is proud of the relationship it has been able to build with LegendsFC. We were the first of many clothing drives as Kidcare launches their thrift stores here in Southern California. Kidcare is still receiving clothing from families that couldn’t make it over the weekend and will get a final tally of donations and funds to LegendsFC in the next two weeks. Visit Kidcare online at www.kidcare.org or see their food pantry at 9014 Benson Ave in Montclair.
