Luna Peak Links
LOCAL COMMUNITY SERVICE
Our local community service group for high schoolers called “Luna Peak Links” was established in 2019 by Daniel Lomboy-Lowe and Luke Rafijah. The Links take a hands-on approach to community outreach in the South Bay. So far they have volunteered at the Pediatric Therapy Network and Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times events. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the group has continued their engagement in socially distant initiatives such as beach cleanups, sending letters to nursing homes, shoe drives, and collecting donations for women’s shelters and refugees from Afghanistan. Most recently, the Links put together over 100 care packages for young cancer patients, their siblings, and their parents which were delivered to Loma Linda University Hospital and other local pediatric oncology wards.
Luna Peak Links Juniors
Elementary & middle School “links”
In 2022, a new “Links” cohort was created for elementary and middle school students who want to support Luna Peak with community service initiatives. Our Luna Peak Links Juniors have supported Luna Peak’s annual Cubing for Cancer events, hosted lemonade stands, led beach clean-ups, and delivered succulent plants (and smiles) to senior citizens at the Canterbury. At Cabrillo Elementary, Links Juniors read to students and helped set up an accessible student store with clothes and supplies for those in need. To learn more or apply to join the Links Juniors group, email lunapeaklinks@gmail.com.
