Our Fall Food Drive for the Alameda County Community Food Bank is going well! Last year, we were able to donate 70 pounds of food. I am grateful that more people from our office have gotten involved this year! Together, I hope we'll be able to double last year's weight and donate at least 140 pounds of food to families in our communities. The photo featured in this post shows some food I purchased for our barrel last night!

I have been searching for a way to bring a recycling program to an elementary school in my neighborhood that does not have recycling, and I think CalRecycle might be a great start! I received my free recycling bin from them today, and I am going to bring it to the school tomorrow to get the recycling fun started! CalRecycle, or California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, brings together the state's recycling and waste management programs and continues a tradition of environmental stewardship. Their vision is to inspire and challenge Californians to achieve the highest waste reduction, recycling and reuse goals in the nation.

In other volunteer news with Dance Daze in the Community, we are currently seeking volunteers to join us in serving with awesome nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area this fall. We are also planning a big fundraising event for our own nonprofit organization, Dance Daze in Schools, which provides high quality dance enrichment programs to students at schools across the United States.

Trying to keep the tradition going! :)

On May 12th, 2012, I volunteered with Girls on the Run, a nonprofit running program for girls ages 8 to 13 that uses experiential learning to teach specific social and personal skills. I had a great time cheering on the runners giving out medals at the finish line!
