SHIELDS is thankful for SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON

This year the employees of Southern California Edison (SCE) have been especially generous to the SHIELDS for Families children, families, and programs. SCE donated their time, talents, and resources to provide tricycles to our children, repaint the community center and courtyard of one of our program sites, and gathered numerous brand new winter coats for our kids. A special thanks to Shelia Taylor for coordinating many of these opportunities between SHIELDS and SCE.

SHIELDS would like to thank SCE and its employees for their generosity and support, we appreciate you and recognize your commitment to children, families, and communities!
