Gonzales said it is a privilege to collaborate with Americorps in serving the needy.
“We consider it a privilege to collaborate with their group to reach a captive audience and sector of our population in order to collect much needed food supply to serve the needy members of our community and being competently served by an esteemed community organization as the Karidat,” he said.
