They Filled the Bus!

Saturday, August 28, the bighearted people of Elk Grove participated in a Fill the Bus event at the new Henry’s Farmers Market at 8211 Laguna Boulevard and the Bel Air Market at 9435 Elk Grove Boulevard (EG Boulevard and Waterman Road).


Volunteers from the Senior Center of Elk Grove and SETA (Sacramento Employment and Training Agency) worked at the event. The Senior Center of Elk Grove also provided the bus. We received 85 bags of food. Thank You. Your donations and efforts help fill the "gap" we face each year when our inventory gets low before food drives start up in the Fall.


This event was organized by the Mayor of Elk Grove, Sophia Scherman. Ms. Scherman heard about our need, and put together a food drive to benefit our friends and neighbors who find themselves in need of a little help.

Thanks Mayor Scherman!
