Nicholas Academic Centers employees multitasked on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
They worked the drive-up distribution line at Valley High School, providing several hundred Santa Ana students and their families with Thanksgiving groceries and gift cards.
Then, the employees rotated into their tutoring roles, helping students complete college applications in time for the upcoming deadline.

They decided instead on a drive-up distribution line, a concept borrowed from the pandemic.
“Groceries go a longer way,” he said. “Instead of one or two plates of food, we are feeding a family of six.”
The NAC was started in 2008 by the Henry T. Nicholas Education Foundation with a mission of providing academic support, mentoring and college success services in an after-school setting.
