What we've done

Hope, delivered. A record of our community events.

Beyond the weekly groceries, we jump on every chance to bring something extra to our neighbors. This page is where we keep track of those moments, and where you'll find photos from the families who took part.

October 2026 · Colton, California

Free Halloween costumes for our neighbors

In October 2026, Mark Chow and the Family and Kids Foundation brought the pantry a mountain of brand-new Halloween costumes, donated by JAKKS Pacific. Baby through adult, princesses through dinosaurs.

Families from across Colton picked out costumes for their kids, and a few for themselves. Nearly every costume was spoken for within three days.

By the time the pickup window closed, every costume had been given away. Not one of them stayed on the shelf.

Thank you to Mark Chow, the Family and Kids Foundation, JAKKS Pacific, and every family who came to pick up a costume. This is what community looks like.
