On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, Council Member Dr. G (Dr. Luis S González) presented the CITY TALK “Community Impact Award” to José Olivares, owner of SanRail Fabricators located at 293 W Olive Street in Colton.
As part of the February 9 presentation, José met with Dr. G and colleague Eloy Sanchez from the Immaculate Conception Church. Eloy has been the coordinator of the community “Dinner Hour” as well as the annual December “Toy Drive” for over 30 years. José provided them with a donation of $400 to the Christmas Toy Drive which was used to help Eloy and his team purchase hundreds of toys that were given out to many children from the community. The Dinner Hour toy Giveaway was held on Tuesday, December 21, at the Immaculate Church. Several hundred children and their families attended to enjoy refreshments, listen to various performances, and of course participate anxiously for the toy giveaway.
With their donation, “SanRail became an official sponsor of this event,” says Eloy Sanchez. Along with this designation, José Olivares is also recognized by Dr. G as a valuable community partner in receiving the CITY TALK “Community Impact Award.” The purpose of this presentation was to officially recognize their support, not only to the Immaculate Church, but to the community.
According to Coordinator Eloy Sanchez, SanRail has joined with several other community partners in sponsoring and supporting this event, including Amanda Brennan and Copart, Lennie Rocco and Ecology, Assemblywoman Eloise Reyes-Gomez and Jessie, Assemblyman James Ramos and Theresa, Bruno Gutierrez, Dr. Boulevard and Barbara, Council Member Dr. G, Francisco Carrean, Chris Nichols and China Valley Ranchers, Devin Gill and Sombrero Market, Daisy Campos, Julie Villegas, Mayor Frank Navarro, Staff Sgt. Nicolson USMC recruiter, and several parishioners from Immaculate Church.
