Family Volunteer Day at the Foodbank of Contra Costa and Solano

Involve your whole family in a positive community service project.  Your family really can make a difference!


Family Volunteer Day offers families with young children who are usually not able to
volunteer, a “behind the scenes” look at the Food Bank. Involve your whole family in community service and start those building blocks of empathy and awareness that may promote a lifetime of thoughtful and meaningful action in
their neighborhood and community.  The  day includes a tour of the warehouse, craft and educational activities, as well as an opportunity for hands-on volunteering
as families sort fruits or vegetables and box them for delivery to programsn such as our Food for Children program and  Senior Food program, just two
of the ways we make sure our community gets fresh, healthy food!.   Children 5 and older can participate and must be accompanied by an adult; one chaperone per child for children ages 5-10 and at least one chaperone for every 2 to 3 children ages 11 and up.

Family Volunteer Day will be held at the Fairfield warehouse on: Saturday, September 29,
at 2339 Courage Drive, Suite F, 94533. The time is 1:30 – 3:30 and RSVP's are required. You can now register online: www.foodbankccs.org/fvdfairfield.  For more information, email Lauren Strouse at lstrouse@foodbankccs.org or
