The students of Yucaipa Christian School  joined together to gather food and other animal care supplies for the orphaned dogs and cats at Yucaipa Animal Placement Society, better known as YAPS.  As a non-profit, no kill shelter, YAPS relies on the generous efforts of folks, such as these students, to help care for the animals it saves.

The K-Kids of Yucaipa’s Ridgeview Elementary orchestrated a campaign at their school to collect food and supplies for their four-legged friends residing at Yucaipa Animal Placement Society! Lasting two weeks with several announcements over the school’s loud speakers encouraging their fellow students to contribute to the pets, this driving force of enterprising youths collected a variety of treats, food, blankets and cleaning supplies all to benefit their furry friends.
