Sierra Vista UMC and Alta Loma Elementary - a Community Connection Initiative

For the past six years, Sierra Vista has connected with Alta Loma Elementary to provide support and service to their staff and students.  There are many rewarding ways to participate in this outreach regardless of your skills or available time.
