San Marcos Treatment Center was a platinum sponsor for the School Fuel Fill the Sack 5K last weekend. The San Marcos-based nonprofit organization distributes a nutritious sack of food each weekend of the school year. They are feeding 1,300 students this year, grades K-11.
Over 75% of San Marcos School District students qualify for free or reduced meals at school and go home to little or no food. San Marcos Treatment Center shares the same belief that children who are food insecure perform at lower levels in school. Nutrition is necessary in order for children to be the best they can be.
Congratulations to our staff who participated in the race. We had three ribbon winners, including Ms. Perez, Ms. Girdy and one of our psychiatrists, Dr. Batenburg, who placed first in her age group. Congrats to our winners! 🏆
