Run 4 Independence - The Sponsors' Reception

Steve has participated in our Run for the past 6 years

 Deb put together another wonderful reception in the warehouse portion of our facilty.  The warehouse cleaned up nicely and the sorting tables made good serving tables for the wonderful food from Brick House.  Our sponsors got to see the inner workings of our food bank, with staff providing informal tours.  

Jeri Retzlaff, Chairperson of our Board of Directors, thanked and welcomed everyone and did some reporting on the numbers from the Run.  Jeri said that the accounting was not done yet, but the preliminary numbers show the Run will profit in the neighborhood of $60,000!!  Jeri stated that the number of participants was 1,300 runners and walkers.

Thank you Sponsors and the Elk Grove community for making our Run such a success!

Bowling Extravaganza - The Sponsors' Reception

Remember Mayor Steve Detrick, Vice Mayor Jim Cooper and Councilmember Gary Davis' Bowling Extravaganza Charity Event? In continuation of the festivities, a Sponsors' Reception was held to recognize the people and organizations who supported and participated in this wonderful example of what our community can do.



The Sponsors' Reception was held at our Dino Drive facility in our administrative side of the house. Boulevard Bistro catered the event. The food was exceptional as always.


Mayor Steve Detrick and Councilmember Gary Davis presented awards to the champions of each division. Here they presented to Junior Champions Garrett and Emily Houseman. Marie Jachino, Executive Director, is in the background.


The last presentation of the evening was huge! Volunteers and staff thankfully accepted a donation from this fundraising event.

Thank you to all who planned, sponsored, bowled, and participated in this incredible fundraiser. We are truly thankful for our City leaders who have organized creative ways to support our efforts to serve our neighbors in need.
