Want to help a mother in need this Mother's Day?
The Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services has teamed with SaveMart Supermarkets and Clear Channel Media to hold an event benefiting the food bank's Mother-Baby Program.
Pre-assembled baby bags filled with parenting supplies, including diapers, food and juice, are available for purchase at 12 participating SaveMart Supermarkets throughout the Sacramento region starting today through Sunday, according to information on the food bank's Web site.
The bags, which are $15 each, will be donated to the Mother-Baby Program, which provides support, supplies and help for more than 400 parents and their babies each month.
Each donor will receive flowers and cookies between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday at Sacramento-area SaveMart stores.
The food bank also is partnering with Rogers Jewelers to host a scavenger hunt that will benefit the charity's programs.
Race for the Rock will be held June 6 in downtown Sacramento.
Teams of two people, ages 18 and older, will hunt the city via bike on a mission to find a $25,000 Hearts on Fire diamond ring. Finders keepers.
Registration is limited to the first 1,000 teams and the entire $25 registration fee will go to the food bank's programs.
