Community Involvement

Each year, Chaboya is proud to support the Second Harvest Food Bank, whose mission is to provide food for people in need in our community. Chaboya brings in several Second Harvest Food Bank barrels which are placed throughout the school for families and students to place canned food donations. Watch the school website for participation dates.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties is the trusted leader dedicated to ending local hunger. Since its inception in 1974, Second Harvest has become one of the largest food banks in the nation, providing food to an average of nearly one quarter of a million people each month. Nearly half of the food distributed is fresh produce. Second Harvest also plays a leading role in promoting federal nutrition programs and educating families on how to make healthier food choices.

Chaboya leadership class organizes the Toys for Tots collection in November and December.

Each year our Language Arts department organizes the annual Valentine for Vets program that provides valentines in February to our veterans at our local veteran's hospitals.

The Language Arts department participates in the Coamerica Book Drive in December, collecting books that are distributed to local shelters.

A Chaboya math teacher organizes a drive to collect items that are donated to service men and women through the local chapter of Blue Star Moms. The items are collected in the fall and sent out to service men and women in December.

As needed, our leadership class organizes disaster relief efforts at Chaboya and then donates funds and items to local relief organizations.
