Community Connect Corner (2/21/2024)

February 21, 2024

✨This Week at BACS✨

Our Berkeley North County Housing Resource Center proudly hosted its second Women’s Wellness Workshop. The event featured esteemed guests from Rising Sun, WORLD, Community Kitchen Labs, and Alameda Family Justice Center. Attendees not only left feeling empowered but also took away valuable resources and delightful goodie bags.

A huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this empowering workshop.

Special shout-out to Ixayanne Baez, our Medical Compliance Supervisor, for bringing the vibrant spirit of Mardi Gras to Hayward.

Staff were pleasantly surprised with beignets, music, and the engaging history behind this lively cultural celebration.

The decorations, photo booth, and props added an extra touch of festivity to the day.

 

 

Pleasanton’s Valley Wellness Center celebrated Valentine’s Day with a heartwarming “Self Care is Self Love” event. The day featured free food from A Little Taste of Culture, a Vaccine Clinic supported by Healthcare for the Homeless, Nutrition Workshop from Community Kitchen Labs, and engaging self-care activities.

It was a day filled with love, laughter, and a focus on overall well-being. Kudos to the Valley Wellness Center team for orchestrating such a memorable celebration.

A heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated staff for going above and beyond to make these events possible. Their commitment to doing Whatever It Takes for our community truly shines through. Special recognition goes out to all the teams involved in organizing these enriching experiences.

Stay engaged, stay connected, and continue making a difference!
