Fruit Ridge Community Collaborative Volunteering: Part 2!

Calling all EDGErs! We have the opportunity to continue our support of Fruit Ridge Community Collaborative (FRCC) in South Oak Park on Saturday, April 17th from 9am-12pm!

For those of you who volunteered with EDGE in February to support FRCC, the classroom that our group primed needs some more TLC. This is an urgent need for FRCC because the classroom will establish a Learning Hub for the elementary school children of the community's formally unhoused families. The Hub will provide full day programming as a place for the children to do their school work, receive tutoring, and do arts, crafts and other creative projects.  

There are a few tasks that need to be completed to get the Hub ready to go, including: painting the classroom, installing white boards, cork boards, and floors. Please note that masks will be required and social distancing practices will be in place for this event. The classroom itself is large and very well ventilated; there are multiple doors and a wall of windows that can be opened.

If you are ready to support FRCC and the South Oak Park community, register today to volunteer with EDGE on 4/17!

About FRCC: 

Fruit Ridge Community Collaborative (FRCC) is a neighborhood hub providing children and families a safe place to learn and play. FRCC is located in South Oak Park, within the Sacramento Promise Zone, one of the 22 federally recognized high poverty communities. Established at the former Fruit Ridge Elementary School, FRCC houses 23 nonprofit organizations and serves as a meeting place for dozens more. These are organizations that serve diverse populations and offer a wide-range of critical support programs that address health and economic disparities. When you volunteer for FRCC, you are not just helping the 23 nonprofits that are tenants of FRCC, you are also supporting the growing number of nonprofits that utilize the space for events and meetings.
