Community Spirit Shines Bright: Central Garden Grove Little League's Snack Bar Gets a Major Makeover!

In a heartwarming display of community collaboration, parents, friends, players, and dedicated volunteers from The Home Depot in Stanton have joined forces to breathe new life into the snack bar for the Central Garden Grove Little League (CGGLL). Located at Hare School Park on Chapman Avenue, just east of Magnolia Street, this renovation not only revitalizes a beloved space but also celebrates a significant milestone: the league's 70th anniversary this spring.

The Transformation Journey

Thanks to the generous support from Home Depot, the snack bar has undergone a remarkable transformation. Greg Pruitt, the president of CGGLL, expressed his gratitude, stating, “This will make the experience better for all of our players and families. After so much use, it was clear the snack bar needed repairs. Understanding how important it is to our community, Home Depot stepped in to help.”

• Modern Upgrades: The renovation includes updated appliances and a fresh coat of paint, aiming to create a more functional and inviting atmosphere.
• Community Commitment: Pruitt emphasized that the newly-renovated snack bar symbolizes the community's enduring spirit and dedication to supporting its youth.

The Importance of Community Support

While the renovation is a significant achievement, the need for ongoing fundraising remains critical. These efforts are essential for providing uniforms and equipment to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate.

Upcoming Fundraising Events

To support these initiatives, the Central Garden Grove Little League is hosting two exciting fundraising events:

1. Shakey’s Pizza: Join us on Wednesday, September 18, at 5 p.m. at 12540 Valley View St. in West Garden Grove.
2. Red Robin: Dine with us on Thursday, October 10, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Chapman Avenue and Harbor Boulevard location in Garden Grove.

These events are not just about raising funds; they're about coming together as a community to support our youth and celebrate the spirit of teamwork that defines the Central Garden Grove Little League.
