I walked in unsure of what to do or who to talk to. Within seconds, people were directing me to go to the line and get some free chili, and another person was trying to get me to take some free pastries. I wish this happened everywhere I went, but I digress. You can come here to get a free meal, apparently no questions asked, which is really cool. I didn't get any food, as I ate right before coming over, but I wish I had at least tried the food. A really good organization for anyone looking for a meal and resources for jobs, community events, ect... They have locations throughout Contra Costa County (Antioch, Oakley, Bay Point, Pittsburg, and the location I visited, Martinez). Be sure to stop by!

I had a few thousand activity books that I needed to donate so that I stopped using space at home…read more These were brand new activity books and I wanted to find a charity that would give them to people who really couldn't afford them. I found the bay area crisis nursery through a different charity. I called the Bay Area crisis, nursery, and, Gina took my call and asked her manager for what could be donated. they were able to accept less than 100 activity bucks, which is fine because at least they're going to a good charity. I get to the bay area, crisis, nursery and park my car in one of the two parking spots. I rang the doorbell and wait you must be patient when you're coming here because the staff could be taking care of children. When the door opened, I was pleasantly greeted by Quinntasha who was very helpful! by the way, if you have new or gently used clothing and toys for children, this is a great charity to bring things that people need and can use.

The Boys and Girls Club of Martinez (aka Diablo Valley) is a "home away from home" and a positive place for for kids. It offers various programs including character and leadership development, education and career development, health and life skills, the arts, and sports. My Site Manager and her husband have been personally involved with this very worthy organization for years. My company is also a long time supporter and many of my colleagues volunteer many hours of their own time (including some periodic food bank work). At one time many years ago, I served on their Board of Directors. However, I have had no direct involvement with the Boys and Girls Club of Martinez for several years. I just got busy with other charitable activities closer to home. The Boys and Girls Club of Martinez also organizes various fund-raising events throughout the year. These have included, a Crab Feed, the annual Auction, the Pete Ginocchio Memorial Golf Tournament, Power Lunch, and the Day for Kids. These events are not only enjoyable, but are attended by various interesting and very caring members of the greater Diablo Valley community.
