I have the honor and
privilege to work for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS) as the
Parent Education Program Manager at our main campus in Oak Park. Eight years
ago, I came to our organization looking to improve my life by learning English
in the Adult Education program, not imagining that my life would change so
much. Now, thanks to the opportunity of being able to work for our organization,
I am able to help other families who are struggling like mine was.
Through the assistance of our
dedicated and compassionate volunteers, who I call our “Angels”, we are able to
provide services free of cost to expectant
families, parents and guardians of children 0-5 years of age in need in the Sacramento area.
Our volunteers help us by offering
support to mothers,
fathers and guardians who are raising children to the best of their ability.
Volunteers assist with setting
up for classes, teaching courses/classes, working on special projects,
receiving and sorting donations, helping clients shop, bagging baby supplies,
stocking the Children’s Boutique, taking care of children in our PlayCare area
and other client support functions.
I could continue
sharing all of the great things our volunteers do in our program, but there
are not enough words to describe how amazed and grateful I am for the
dedication, compassion and generosity of the great team of volunteers we have.
My life has forever been changed because of the time I have spent with them and
all of the great advice they have given me to do my job better.
I will never be able to fully express my gratitude to them.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to our “Angels”
who help us every day making a difference in the lives of so many families.
