Serving Lathrop
Welcome
My name is Jennifer Torres-O’Callaghan and I am your Vice Mayor and seeing on my third term on Lathrop City Council. During my tenure, I founded a food pantry at Lathrop High School which provides students in our community with shelf stable foods for the weekends when free breakfast and lunch are not provided by the schools - making sure our students don't go hungry. Annually, I partner with the Central Valley Mayors and Elected Officials Coalition to provide backpacks with school supplies to Lathrop students - making sure all students have what they need to succeed in school. I also helped to establish a mentorship program between the City, and both Lathrop High and River Islands High Schools. Department heads from the city take turns speaking directly to leadership classes about working as an engineer, IT, Public Works Director, Parks and Recreation Manager, City Planner, Police and Fire Chief, City Clerk, Economic Development, etc and then provide the classes with hands on tours as well.
I love living in Lathrop. I love raising my family in Lathrop. And I love serving my community in Lathrop. I am proud to be your current Vice Mayor.
