Christmas with the Currys 2023 at Manzanita | Eat. Learn. Play.

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holidays at Eat. Learn. Play. than by sharing the joy of reading with Oakland kids!📚 For our 11th Annual Christmas with the Currys, Stephen, Ayesha, a dedicated crew of volunteers, and our partners at Oakland Unified School District helped to pack and deliver 85,000 books to all 49 elementary schools.🎁 We also held a special celebration at OUSD’s Manzanita Campus so we could hand-deliver gift boxes of books and backpacks to their 800 students and announce that they will be the first of eight schools in 2024 to get a revitalized schoolyard with Eat. Learn. Play. and KABOOM!✨ #ChristmaswiththeCurrys #EatLearnPlay #Oakland
