District 12 top volunteer Xochitl Cobarruvias has built a strong relationship with the communities of Carson and southern Los Angeles through her tireless efforts bringing money, food, school supplies, and legal help to struggling people. She started a monthly food bank at her local’s Maywood office which has distributed more than ten-thousand bags of groceries to people in need. Because of her, 2,000 families were able to have a Thanksgiving meal and 500 kids received backpacks with school supplies last year. She raised over $7,500 for families involved in the area sports program to buy uniforms and cover fees, and she is a great help to her local’s annual “Children’s Christmas Party,” which provides hundreds of gifts to underprivileged kids. We are so thankful for everything Xochitl does... Find out about each of our 2019 USW Jefferson Award winners, here: http://usw.to/346.
