The water polo team will accept donations Nov. 13-16 and 26 before and after school off Creighton Road, next to the stadium, and from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sat. Nov. 17 at the school’s pool.
Cash donations will be accepted and used to make sure every duffel bag contains the same new clothing.
Community members may also drop off the duffel bags between Nov.13 and 16 at the District Support Center, located at 41870 McAlby Road in Murrieta.
Once the duffel bags are collected and prepared for shipping, the bags will travel to the seven high schools in areas impacted by the storm.
“Time of the essence, we are hoping the community will get involved and rally around these kids who are making a difference,” said Head Water Polo Coach Shane Anderson.
