The Los Altos Educational Foundation will be putting on “LAEF Community Shopping Sunday.” This event’s purpose is to provide funds to support local schools which may be in need.

The all day fund-raiser will take place this Sunday.

This is the second time merchants and foundation members have teamed up. Most of the participating downtown merchants will be donating about 10 percent of the profits from sales they take.

Michelle Greenfield, a member of the LAEF Board of Directors for the last six years, says that this event helps both the merchants and the foundation.

“It’s a win-win situation to support the local schools and the merchants,” Greenfield said.

“It’s any opportunity to give to the local school district.”

Greenfield has been involved with coordinating the event and is working hard to make it possible.

Months of work have gone into planning. About 28 downtown stores will be participating in the event.

The money from this event will be given to schools in the district to help them push forward with their goals. According to Greenfield, Sunday’s goal is to raise about $10,000.
