BVCS Food Drive Coming 5/17
Many in our community go hungry on a daily basis - Approximately 1 in 6 of our Contra Costa neighbors (mostly children and seniors) can't afford the food they need. With this in mind, we join hands with the Contra Costa Food Bank for a Food Drive, so we at Bay Valley Chinese School can give back to our local community.
On 5/17, be sure to bring in non-perishable (non-glass) items that can be shared with those in greater need. We have 3 barrels to fill, let's make them overflow! More details to be advised.
