Community Service Holiday
Projects
Please support a food
drive to benefit Gleaners Food Bank
(www.gcfb.org). Through November and up to December 12 bring
non perishable food items to any BBNC Activity. They will be
delivered to Gleaners for distribution to the needy. This
activity is being sponsored in conjunction with the language
conversation groups and the book groups to promote community
service.
BBNC will also
support Haven’s Gift Giveaway. Haven
supports individuals and families challenged by domestic
abuse and violence by providing shelter and counseling to
meet family needs. (www.haven-oakland.org) The Gift Giveaway
allows families having received Haven services to
“shop” for holiday gifts for their family on Dec
17. The items are all new and provided by donations. Items
needed range from clothing and diapers for infants, to toys
and gift cards for older children, to gifts for parents such
as housewares, linens, and clothing. ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE NEW
AND UNWRAPPED. See link a complete list of suggested items.

All
items can be brought to any BBNC activity up to December 12.
