LA Works Program Coordinator Mario Rodriguez, who oversees employment programs for local low-income adults, noticed that many program participants are supporting families on limited incomes. He then approached Gunnery Sergeant Baskin from the U.S. Marine Reserves in Pasadena about partnering to provide over 300 gifts for children of program participants. Baskin enthusiastically agreed.
