Dublin Students Brighten Holidays For Needy Families

DUBLIN, CA — Two Fallon Middle School students stepped up to raise money and donate toys for local families in need this holiday season.

Adi Jain said he and friend Sriram Kannan went door-to-door to collect $300 in cash for a food drive and donated 34 toys to a drive organized by Luso-American Financial in Dublin to bring holiday cheer to local families.

"My friend and I wanted to make sure that kids who can't afford to get toys this Christmas get toys this year and have a wonderful Christmas," Jain told Patch in an email.

Last year, the duo donated 182 pounds of food to help families during the pandemic.

They plan to organize another food and toy drive next Christmas.
