It's one of the few food banks that doesn't require ID, proof of income, or proof of residency. They were really out here trying to do good and help the less fortunate. I see the director Mr. Buggs out there unloading the van daily. The people there work hard. By chance when I moved to Vallejo and was looking for a cheap fridge I saw one for $40 on FB Marketplace. It was Faith Food Fridays. I had no idea until I inquired about it. Someone helped me load it into my truck. I insisted on tipping them an extra $20-40 but they refused. So I told them to take it as a donation for the organization. Another occasion when I interact with FFF was as a representative of another non-profit. I asked to post some flyers for a free pancake day event on their window. They were very happy to help! Mr. Buggs showed me himself where to post them and offered to let me table there on Friday during their weekly distribution. The willingness to help others is truly rare. Often times charities are full of egos. Not here. During the summer I see they often host free showers. Other times it's free haircuts or nail days. I love how they're very open to collaborations with other groups that want to do good and serve the community. Their windows are often full of flyers for events hosted by other organizations. They're good people and if you have items to donate or wants to volunteer this is a place that I believe deserves the support!

I also didn't know that they sell a secret stash of items of higher value and it supposedly gets cash apped to that particular lead. Where's the checks and balances on that one? When I mentioned it to the person in the back, they commented that they weren't surprised. The lead was quite brazen in his wordplay (they didn't know I could hear) and it got somewhat vulgar. The woman looked like she was not interested, even though she received the free premium items. Do better!

I walked in unsure of what to do or who to talk to. Within seconds, people were directing me to go to the line and get some free chili, and another person was trying to get me to take some free pastries. I wish this happened everywhere I went, but I digress. You can come here to get a free meal, apparently no questions asked, which is really cool. I didn't get any food, as I ate right before coming over, but I wish I had at least tried the food. A really good organization for anyone looking for a meal and resources for jobs, community events, ect... They have locations throughout Contra Costa County (Antioch, Oakley, Bay Point, Pittsburg, and the location I visited, Martinez). Be sure to stop by!

Requires that family members work on the new build, along with construction experts and community volunteers! This is a fantastic opportunity to learn building techniques and if you are a volunteer- to serve your community in the most profound way - "hands-on" approach gets volunteers involved in learning & doing on day one. People wanting to get a home they can love and afford apply to Habitat for Humanity. Corporations that want to find a way to serve their community/ have a team building exercise with their co-workers will enjoy this program. I have done this many times at work (Wells Fargo) and it's my favorite volunteer service. Learn more on their website! They have several places they build homes, and also work on many other projects. EXAMPLE: The neighborhood and Neighbors are HAPPY to get involved along with the future owners-- this old rundown SF home is becoming 8 units for families!! There are many Habitat "builds" all over CA and USA, the pictures show one project in San Francisco.

Maybe I'm missing something but it's donated: so try obo or half price Tuesdays! Some items are brand new from builders who overbought so they can ask more for these, it's reasonable. However, some of the items are torn up, faded, sun bleached & more worthy of a garage. Keep an open mind here cuz you may not find exactly what you want, but there are some interesting finds. Lots of Asian theme items & furniture. Good luck!

I had a very positive experience with this agency.

She took time to hear my story and the story of my daughter's abuse at the hands of her perpetrator As well as my story. This agency, as far as I'm concerned is the only one in the county that is knowledgeable with anything trauma and victim related As well as taking the time to call people back and to provide resources and phone numbers to call. They are truly on your side here, unlike other agencies, such as Sane Sart, Trauma recovery center and DA advocates which I would altogether avoid because they're useless.

So we were excited to have another recreation and fitness center available other than YMCA. The center offered a Performing Arts Center, Family pool, gym, climbing wall, competition lap pool, worship center, weight room, group exercise classes and more. I paid for the fitness shuffle classes to include the Zumba classes which was so much fun. My two nephews would be placed in the child watch section while their parents (My cousin) worked out. My daughter also worked at the child watch section. My brother also worked as a personal fitness trainer. We were members of the Kroc prior to my daughter and brother's employment. All the employees were always friendly, nice and helpful. We surely enjoyed our time here. We have a lot of great memories.

I will quote the informational pamplet. "Parent Voices is a grassroots organization. As a grassroots organization, we work to make quality child care available and affordable to all families that need it." "Since 1996, Parent Voices has successfully engaged thousands of parents to advocate for quality child care at the local, state and federal levels." For example, "In 2002, Parent Voices saved $100 million in child care funding that would have impacted 59,000 children." "In 2006, Parent Voices launched a pro-active campaign to update income eligibility criteria for subsidized child care. By successfully convincing legislators to update the eligibility criteria, Parent Voices was able to preserve the ability of thousands of working families to maintain their economic security through work and child care subsidies." "Parent leaders organize the annual Stand for Children Day which brings 500 parents, children, and child care supporters together for a rally and legislative visits in the State Capitol." Parent Voices is an organization that helps to advocate for working parents to maintain child care.
