At last year’s annual meeting, Crystle Nehrmeyer, Superintendent of Oracle Elementary School District No. 2, spoke about how SBCO’s programs to feed, clothe and enrich have improved the lives of her students.

On Monday, April 13th at 3:00 pm in the Mountain View ballroom, SBCO will honor the volunteers and supporters who have made it possible to annually serve children and their families living in the small, rural towns stretching from Catalina to Miami and San Carlos. This area includes more than four counties, ten school districts, 22 schools, Head Start programs and 6,800 youngsters.

For nearly 29 years, the mission of SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) has been to provide opportunities for kids to succeed. SBCO programs and grants focus on four things important to the success of children in need: food, clothing, enrichment and education. Over the years, the variety of programs we support, as well as the number of children served, has expanded dramatically.

This event is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of the SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch residents who have provided SBCO with the time, talent and funds essential to our programs’ success. The lifetime achievement award, volunteer of the year and receptionist of the year will be recognized. A check for the funds raised during the annual food drive will be awarded to Tri-Community Food Bank and guests from local schools will present the enrichment programs that were funded by SBCO grants. Scholarship students will explain how SBCO’s support has helped them attain their academic goals post high school,

Refreshments, a no-host bar and door prizes will be provided. Attendees will be able to visit with volunteers and meet members of the current and incoming Board of Directors. At the event, SBCO members will vote on the slate of officers for 2026-27.

Plan now to join us in celebrating SBCO’s many years of making a difference in local communities – and the dedication of those who have made our organization so successful. This event is open to the public and no reservations are required. Just come on April 13h, have fun and learn more about SBCO’s programs.
