Zahara Carter, Assistant (sports administration)
A while back Coach Aura told you about Bryan Taylor, a PG on our team, and how he had set up a program that gathers extra fruit and vegetables from people’s local homes and provides it to organizations that help feed the needy. Bryan has been expanding his efforts and now has a cadre of assistants so that they can get to more homes to gather fruit and vegetables and make the resulting deliveries. Recently he was able to convince some of the farmers in the area to allow his group to pick and gather leftover fruit and vegetables from their farms after those farmers have completed thier commercial harvesting. That has allowed Bryan to dramatically expand what he was doing for the needy in San Luis Obispo and nearby Paso Robles to include a much larger city to our south, Santa Maria. That city has many more low-income residents and a sizeable number of homeless.
While Bryan isn’t a starter for us, he’s definitely become a star within of our Cal Poly student body and developed a much needed and beneficial humanitarian service. We’re very proud of him.
