El Profe’s Disciples, one of the few philanthropic clubs in attendance, helps the homeless in Santa Ana by compiling and delivering 150 care packages filled with clothing, snacks and toiletries.
“Our club helps a lot of people and at club rush we had a large number of students who wanted to be a part of the club but throughout the semester we had only had about three students in attendance, so we want to actually do something to change that because we want to help,” said Inter-Club Freshman Daniel Ramirez said.
SAC’s Inter-club Council represents 28 clubs that range from the Anime Club to Club Apple, a club for aspiring teachers who were a part of the event Wednesday offering a photo booth and fun costumes.
