Last Saturday on Valentine’s Day the Grandparents Connection (GPC) held its 22nd annual Valentine’s Day drive-thru at 318 4th Ave. in Chula Vista.
“We were honored to serve local grandparents and their families for their many sacrifices by providing them with beautiful red roses and boxes of See’s Candies,” shared GPC co-founder Sheryl Lambert.
Ms. Lambert noted that many families were surprised and hesitant at first, not realizing the gifts were free.
“We worked with them gracefully to explain there was no charge. We simply wanted to show our appreciation for their commitment to raising their grandchildren and keeping them out of the CPS system,” Ms. Lambert said. “On behalf of the GPC, we want to thank these families for everything they do.”
Roses, candy and applause should also be given to the Lamberts, Sheryl and Cliff, for their caring, sharing ways as they continue to lead by example.
