Have an emergency? Call AAA

When I have an emergency with my car, I have a back-up plan: I call AAA. At Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa (LFCC), when we need help on a holiday, who do we call? AAA, of course.

AAA has an award-winning Employee Volunteer Program (EVP) and leader Cindy Skinner and her team jumped at the chance to volunteer in Martinez on Memorial Day. Traditionally holidays are sometimes hard to fill. Memorial Day can be very challenging. It is the start of the summer season, school is ending and people are ready for that first long weekend. Parades, BBQs and family get-togethers are the norm.

At Loaves and Fishes, most of our clients never take a holiday. They are hungry everyday of the year. That is why LFCC is very grateful to the AAA team for coming in and serving a hot nutritious meal to those who need one on a day that those volunteers could have been with family and friends. AAA to the rescue!
