Local families stepped up Saturday to help restock the shelves of a La Mesa sporting goods store.
La Mesa little league held a donation drive for the La Mesa Play It Again Sports. The store was hit hard during the rioting and looting last month. Community members showed up with sports equipment - both new and old.
"We're just one of the drives that are being done. I have seen a lot of them throughout the week that are being done to support them. That shows their reputation in the community, pay it forward if you can," said Amber Welch, a fundraiser sponsor.
Along with the donations, Welch's real estate company donated two deep-sea fishing trips which will be raffled off.
All of the proceeds going to Play It Again Sports in La Mesa.
