Run Registration at Leatherby's

Less than two weeks to our 9th Annual Run 4 Independence!  For your convenience, you can register for the Run at Leatherby's Family Creamery, 8238 Laguna Boulevard this Saturday, June 22, 2013, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Our happy volunteers will be out front to help you with your registration paperwork. 

All Signed Up for the Run 4 Independence!

Just got all of the registration forms turned in for my family.  The kids will be virtual runners, as they have obligations out of the area this summer.  Hub will be running the 10K, I will be walking (slowly) the 5K. 

If you want to register for our Run, you can do so at the website. 

The Run 4 Independence is held on the last Saturday in June, this year:  Saturday, June 29, 2013.  The event includes 5K and 10K courses and two different Fun Runs for the kids. 

Proceeds from the Run 4 Independence benefit Elk Grove Food Bank Services, a non-profit dedicated to alleviating hunger, developing programs to build client self-sufficiency and providing an opportunity for volunteerism.  The work of EGFBS benefits over 3,300 individuals from the Elk Grove area each month. 

Thanksgiving Distribution

With the past postings about the need for turkeys, and the need for volunteers this busy Holiday season; I guess information about the distribution process would be helpful. 

To receive a turkey, first you need to sign up with us.  Sign ups end on November 16.  Our usual eligibility requirements apply. 

Thanksgiving Distribution will be on Tuesday, November 20. 

Please remember to sign up.  Our operations are small and we need to know how many people we will be serving. 

More questions, call us at 916-685-8453. 

Thank you for supporting your local Food Bank.
