FALLBROOK – Donations totaling $13,400 were approved by the board of directors of the Angel Society of Fallbrook at its August meeting.

The Fallbrook Senior Center was awarded $7,000 to help support its senior homebound meals program. The program, which serves 50 to 60 seniors weekly, provides meals for those who have lower incomes, are physically challenged and can no longer drive, or have other significant daily living challenges.

The Fallbrook Hospital Auxiliary received $2,500 to help fund its courier service, which drives patients to appointments out of town. The nonprofit organization not only serves hospital patients, it also raises funds for student scholarships and other special community healthcare needs.

Heart to Heart Camp Pendleton, a nonprofit that supports active duty military women and the wives of active duty military, was given $2,000 to help sponsor its annual appreciation luncheon. Now in its fifth year, the luncheon will be held on Sept. 27 and includes a buffet lunch, inspirational music, prizes and a guest speaker.

The science enrichment club program at La Paloma School received $900 to help fund its 24-week program that introduces students to a variety of science experiments. At the end of nine weeks, 18 students are selected to continue their study and compete at a science field day in Lakeside.

The Fallbrook Girls’ Rugby Club, which won three national championships, 2011 through 2013, was given $500 to help pay for its field rental at the Ingold Sports Park in Fallbrook. The club has 40-plus members, with high school, 16-and-under, and 14-and-under divisions.

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary also received $500. A “no kill” shelter, the sanctuary provides food, necessary veterinary care, and adoption for lost, abandoned or surrendered animals.
