Family Volunteer Day, a program of the Points of
Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network, showcases the
benefits of families working together, introduces them to community
service and encourages those who haven’t yet made the commitment, to
volunteer as a family. Sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, Family
Volunteer Day is held annually the Saturday before Thanksgiving and
initiates National Family Week.
Volunteering as a family provides quality time,
strengthens communication and offers opportunities for family members to
be role models while making significant contributions to their
neighborhoods. Family volunteering encourages lifelong volunteers and a
legacy of volunteering for the next generation to carry into the future.
During Family Volunteer
Day, communities worldwide work with families, corporations, nonprofits
and Volunteer Centers to make volunteering a family tradition. Your
family can get involved by supporting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
and our "Virtual Food Drive." You can still participate
by,

Every family who participates will receive an
"Incredible Family" window cling to show off their support, compliments of
Disney (while supplies last).
