I've volunteered as a group three times here at the Yolo Food Bank warehouse and operations…read morefacility in Woodland: first with Novozymes in November 2015, again with Bayer in January 2019, and most recently representing Nuseed in July 2023. Not only is it a great community service, but also a great teambuilding activity. The opportunity we had was specifically for packing fresh produce boxes along a conveyor belt to be delivered for free to hundreds of Eat Home Yolo senior, low-income, mobility-restricted, homebound households via home delivery or community distributions. YFB serves not only just major areas like Woodland, West Sacramento, Clarksburg, Winters, Davis, UC Davis, North Yolo, and Capay Valley but also more rural locations such as Esparto, Knights Landing, or Dunnigan. Volunteer Coordinator Natalie provided all guidance. Sign the waiver, get a nametag, close-toed shoes, gloves, hang up personal items, and grab a bottle of water! Bathrooms available, large industrial fan to stay cool inside the warehouse, could take breaks as needed. We were tasked with assembling and packing boxes, each containing one cauliflower, 10-12 potatoes, apples, onions, and apricots. These would be distributed along with canned/dried goods such as rice, beans, protein powder, etc. In an assembly-line fashion, we had 4 people folding boxes, 1 person on the cauliflower station, 2 on potatoes, 2 on apples, 1 on onions, 1 on apricots, 1 closing and stacking boxes, 1 on replenishing the tables, 1 photographer/floater. Initially, I was helping with replenishment but got reassigned to potatoes. No joke, the bags/boxes of produce we're dealing with prior to packing are anywhere from 24-50 pounds each! When we were finished we also sprayed down the tables, tore down the source cardboard boxes, and swept the floor. Up to 96 boxes per pallet (4x3x8) --15 pounds each -- our team of 14 people completed packing 239 boxes in under an hour! For this type of volunteering, you must be age 12+ (minors must attend with an adult chaperone), close-toed shoes required, not outdoors, not wheelchair-accessible, requires you to stand/walk on concrete, recommended to dress in layers, and must be able to lift 2-15 pounds repeatedly, and life 30-50 pounds occasionally. Other types of opportunities include Planting & Harvest at River Garden Farms, Produce Packing, Drive-Thru Distributions, Dry Product Packing, Kid's Farmers Market, or being a volunteer driver for home deliveries. What's neat is that this follows the crop cycle from harvesting to packing and then distributing! They also accept food and monetary donations if you can't devote your time onsite.

Most daycares require upfront payments to secure your spot, Children's Home Society requires that you wait until the month is completed to receive payment and then wait another month to do revisions and correct THEIR mistakes. This makes it almost 2 months from when payment is typically received for daycare. Any questions, concerns, or comments are not well received by these very rude workers. There is not a single worker in the payment department that I have interacted with that has been helpful nor kind!

We had vintage cars in ceremony, the owner Ethel was beyond warm and opens her home for bride to get ready. The entire day was just perfect we as a huge BBQ and dance floor with music and partying through the evening. This venue is a vintage rustic chic sort of place with the natural landscape to match. It is priced very reasonably for a venue and sure to not disappoint.

I recently visited this location for a possible venue for my daughter's wedding and/or reception…read more If you are looking for a place in the country, this may be for you. We met with Ethel, the owner of the property, who showed us around the grounds. Her dog Bo joined us on the tour, and he was fun to watch. If you want an outdoor wedding, there are locations on the property to do so. You can rent a couple different arches from them for approx. $35.00 each. They also provide tables and folding chairs for an extra fee. You also would need to provide your own tablecloths, etc. If you have an outdoor reception, there is an area near the house to do so. There are even lights strung up already around the trees, and hook ups for electrical items. There is a barn to the left of the property. On the way to the barn, we passed the building that has 2 restrooms inside. ((modern out-house)). I loved the barn! The barn is pretty big and even has a loft. You can have your ceremony in the rear of the barn and have the reception inside the barn. The cost for an outside ceremony near the house is $1,500. The use of the barn is $2,500. If you choose to have your ceremony in the back of the barn it is $500 + $2,500 for the barn, for $3,000 total. Also, you are required to pay $20 per each security guard. For a smaller wedding or reception, you may only need to have one. There is also someone available to help direct the vehicles on where to park. ((and there is plenty of parking)). Unfortunately, this location was over our budget, as the price does not include other items..such as the food and any alcohol, etc. There are even bells in a tower that can be rung for your ceremony. This location can also be used for other gatherings and celebrations. Ethel is very sweet and welcomed us inside her home as well. She will respond to you promptly via email if you email her. Consider her property if you need a nice outdoor or indoor place.
