Anonymous donor shares why he covered lunch debt for a Huntington Beach school district |
He said he wanted one less obstacle in the bumpy path to education children too often must navigate. So a Huntington Beach man wrote a check for $7,813.50 to eliminate the debt Ocean View School District students had on the books from getting lunch. The philanthropist certainly didn’t open his wallet for a public pat on the back. Although he agreed to an interview, the donor insists on anonymity. “It’s not about me,” he said. “It’s about the kids. And it’s about planting a seed for people to look around and ask ‘How can I help my community?’”
