Machado Family Giving

Machado Family Giving is very concerned about the children in our communities. The effects of the recent pandemic made us aware of the frailty of many kids. According to the Community Indicators for San Bernardino County, 30,270 students K-12 were identified as homeless during the 2020 school year.
