CLU and MATES Community Collaboration School Partnership

MATES is proud to be a Community Collaboration School Partner with Cal Lutheran.

CLU Community Cupboard Food Drive

February 26 – 29 (M – Th)

As school partners with CLU, let’s gather our MATES Community in helping students have food everyday. This is a free anonymous resource for students who face food insecurities and is 100% funded by donations.
Drop-off location: MATES MPR – there will be labeled boxes. Come to STEAM Night on February 29 (Thu), and bring your donations! Your generous contributions are very much appreciated!
Donation ideas: non-expired items only; smaller, individual items appreciated as well as microwavable options:
  • High Protein Canned Goods (Beans, Tuna, Chicken, Spam)
  • Canned Fruits & Vegetables
  • Pasta, Rice
  • Trail Mix, Protein Bars, Peanut Butter
  • Oatmeal, Cereal, Shelf Stable Milk
LAST YEAR:
We had a successful Food Drive Week in conjunction with our STEAM Night! All contributions support the California Lutheran University Community Cupboard, where their pantry is 100% filled by donations to help food insecure students.
Thank you to all those who contributed!

CLU and MATES Community Collaboration School Partnership

This is an exciting alliance that was formed in 2019. Both California Lutheran University (CLU) and Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary School (MATES) are strong forces in the community, and this collaboration is so mutually beneficial.

Our very own 2nd grade teacher, Sarah Ceralde, who was a junior in 2019, was part of this program.
