Give a little, tote a lot. Alameda County Community Food Bank has teamed up with Oakland Vintage Mart to host a donation drive this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 222 Jefferson St. in Oakland. This exciting event not only allows you to give back to your community, but also rewards you with a limited edition tote bag upon donation. The drive comes at a crucial time as food banks across the country are facing increased demand due to the ongoing pandemic.
The Alameda County Community Food Bank has been serving the community for over 35 years, providing nutritious food to those in need. Their mission is to end hunger in the county by providing healthy food and resources to low-income individuals and families. With the current economic crisis, the demand for their services has only increased, making events like this donation drive crucial for their operations.
Partnering with Oakland Vintage Mart, a local vintage store, adds a unique twist to the donation drive. The store, known for its one-of-a-kind vintage finds, will be hosting the event at their location on Jefferson St. The collaboration between the two organizations not only supports the community but also promotes sustainable fashion by encouraging the use of reusable tote bags.
The donation drive is open to everyone, and any amount of donation is greatly appreciated. However, for every donation of $25 or more, you will receive a limited edition tote bag designed exclusively for this event. The tote bag features a unique design that represents the partnership between the food bank and Oakland Vintage Mart, making it a must-have for any fashion enthusiast.
Not only will you be supporting a great cause and receiving a stylish tote bag, but you will also have the opportunity to shop at Oakland Vintage Mart. The store will be open during the donation drive, and a portion of their sales will also be donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. So, you can shop guilt-free knowing that your purchases are making a difference in the community.
The donation drive is not just about giving back, but it is also a chance to come together as a community. The event will have a festive atmosphere with music, food trucks, and other fun activities. It is a great opportunity to meet new people, support local businesses, and make a positive impact in your community.
If you are unable to attend the donation drive, you can still support the cause by making a donation online. Every dollar donated helps the food bank provide two meals to those in need. Your generosity will go a long way in helping the food bank continue their mission of ending hunger in Alameda County.
In these challenging times, it is heartwarming to see organizations like the Alameda County Community Food Bank and Oakland Vintage Mart coming together to make a difference. So, mark your calendars for this Saturday and join us at 222 Jefferson St. in Oakland to give a little and tote a lot.
