This morning, in conjunction with the Twelfth Annual Santa to the Sea Toy Drive by Nyeland Promise, the Oxnard Police Department’s D.R.A.G.G. (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti) auto youth program gifted a refurbished vehicle to a well-deserving local family.
This is the fourth consecutive year our D.R.A.G.G. program has repaired and reconditioned a previously-owned vehicle and donated it to a family in need of reliable transportation. The vehicle, a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander, was donated by Oxnard Mitsubishi and refurbished by D.R.A.G.G., with assistance from Commercial Auto Body in Oxnard.
This year, over sixty well-deserving families were nominated. The recipients, Juan Cruz and his family, were selected by the students in the D.R.A.G.G. program.
