Giving Days
Giving Day is a fun way to spread kindness and help others in our community.
Why Giving Day?
FOAMit believes giving is a privilege and we celebrate every opportunity to share our successes with others.
The seeds of giving are sown through acts of service and kindness. Ann Jacques developed FOAMit’s “Giving Day” to engage employees in joyful acts of helping others and become life-long givers themselves.
Giving creates stronger families and communities. Positive change starts with you, me, and us.

5th Grade Pen Pals with Cesar Chavez
No volunteer opportunity open at this timeThe 5th grade students at Cesar Chavez will write about their family, school, and interests and we get to write them back! We will send one letter a month with a toal of 4-5 letters. The pen pals are to encourage the students to think about their future and explore career options.
This program means a lot to the students because it motivates them to engage in their writing skills and connect with people in their community. It also helps with social skills, creativity, and building self-confidence.
