Join us on Saturday, January 26th for FAMILY VOLUNTEER DAY! Organized
by HandsOn Bay Area and sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, this day
of service helps families strengthen bonds to their communities and
each other.This year, HandsOn Bay Area will be partnering
with R.O.C.K. (Real Options for City Kids) at VISITACION VALLEY
MIDDLE SCHOOL. R.O.C.K. is the largest provider of academic and
social support for at-risk youth in Visitacion Valley. Since 1994,
R.O.C.K. has served the needs of children in the community by
providing structured programs that foster personal development within
a safe, loving and supportive environment.
VOLUNTEERS WILL MAKE OVER THE ROOFTOP GARDEN TO CREATE A TRANQUIL
RETREAT FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. Activities include creating
succulent and herb gardens, planting flowers, painting planter bins in
school colors, painting bookend murals on the wall, creating a zen
garden, and constructing benches and tables.
Volunteering is a great way for kids and adults to make new friends,
develop compassion for their neighbors, and even pick up a new skill
or two. Sign up now with your family to make a difference in your
community!
