Luis De La Cruz says helping out former foster youth is second-nature for him.
“I used to be in foster care,” De La Cruz explained. “I had a foster mom who would send me a care package each semester when I was in school. That’s why it’s really great to do this for the next generation.”
De La Cruz, the president and CEO of the nonprofit Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation, was at the April 14 packing event at the Subaru Superstore of Chandler, where dealership staff and volunteers assembled and sealed 120 care packages for former foster youth enrolled in higher education.
