Again, this year local children will have a brighter Christmas, thanks to the Phyllis-Queen Foundation.
The Phyllis-Queen Foundation is a family run foundation led by Art, and Fredda Davis, Don, Clarisa Howard, Troy Davis (son) assisted by other friends C. Reed A. Brown.
The Foundation’s family members grew up in the City of San Bernardino. Better known as the “Valley Truck Farm.” They believe in the importance of giving back to the community to help improve the lives of economically challenged youth.
The organization work with several churches in the community to vet the children for eligibility who would benefit most from the shopping experience.
The children are given a stipend or gift card valued at 125.00 and can choose some of those favorite toys, that they only dreamed of having.
For the past 12 years they have held this event at the Target store on Orange show road, and Arrowhead, but unfortunately this year, due to some logistical challenges, the children will take their early morning stroll down the aisles of Walmart, Rialto Ca., selecting their toys before the crowds arrive.
In recognition of the foundation’s work the pastors and members of Temple Missionary Baptist, New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, Ecclesia Christian Fellowship, Black Rose, and the word of God Church. Presented Phyllis/Queen Foundation with a plaque in appreciation for over a decade of giving back to our community.
Mr., and Mrs. Davis surprised these Pastors and leaders with a collective Donations of $25,000.00 thousand dollars to be distributed as a gift to their prospective organizations.
The Davis’ believes that we must weather the storm together, before we can enjoy the sunshine, we must work together, regardless of Race, Religion, or Political belief; we are all one race under God.
