Water From the Rock partnered with Pastor Nati and Word of Life Church and others in a vital core team that raised over $33,000 for a huge BackPack Giveaway Event just in time to assist underprivilged kids in Santa Ana start off their 2008-09 school year with the basic supplies they need.  About 4,000 parents and kids came to the event at El Salvador Park on August 16th to participate in the festive Back to School - BackPack event.  We deeply appreciate all those who gave their generous support. 

The bicycle raffle was a great success along with the fun and games, face painting, and 2,300 backpacks with school supplies that were distributed at this event.  Some children who were unable to buy school uniforms received brand new uniforms.  And a team of volunteers made about 3,000 hot dog lunches to feed the families at the event.  Thank you again to all who worked long hours to make this event successful!
