Stockton – San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas is pleased to announce a substantial donation, $25,000, was presented to the Lodi Boys and Girls Club during their fundraiser on Saturday, April 29, 2023.

The donation is a result of the Asset Forfeiture Public Safety, Gang, Narcotic Intervention and Prevention program. Donations can be issued on behalf of the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office to organizations who are implementing innovative strategies to combat the presence of drugs and gangs in our community, specifically pertaining to youth. The allocated funds represent a percentage of assets forfeited in San Joaquin County pursuant to Health and Safety Code 11469 et. seq.

“Educating children is a top priority of my Administration, and the Lodi Boys and Girls Club is constantly going above and beyond for the youth in the Lodi community,” said District Attorney Ron Freitas. “It is my Office’s honor to present their organization with $25,000 to ensure the continued success of their programs and well-being of the students and children they serve.”
