The GVCC Saturday Cafe is one of Hands4Hope’s most
popular outreach events, and is hosted two times per month at Green Valley
Community Church in Placerville. Due to the frequency of the Saturday Cafe and
volunteering opportunities that it offers though, Hands4Hope is regularly in
need of adult and youth volunteers, and would love to have as many participants
as possible to support this great outreach.
This is a fantastic opportunity to interact with
individuals in need and hear their stories; learn more about the food and
homelessness services available in El Dorado County; and just help others
prepare for the next week, recharge their batteries, and gain support from the
community!
To learn more or register for the next Saturday Cafe,
please visit our website or contact Yoko Kono at yoko@hands4hopeyouth.org.
Upcoming Dates:
● October 14th from 8:15-11:15am
● October 28th from 8:15-11:15am
Read on to learn more about the Saturday Cafe and the
different volunteering opportunities open to Hands4Hope participants!

Green Valley Community Church (GVCC) is one of the
largest food distribution points in El Dorado County. Every Saturday, the
church serves between 150-300 people, preparing and serving a warm meal while
they wait to go through the grocery food line and clothing closet. All of these
services are free, and provide individuals and families the opportunity to
interact with others for a greater sense of community, as well as receive
needed supplies, find help and resources from the church staff and volunteers,
and just have the chance to sit down and have a meal with others in a welcoming
and safe setting.
In preparing and hosting these events, GVCC
collaborates with Hands4Hope for volunteers that help Saturday Cafe attendees
“shop” for groceries and clothing at the church. Volunteers may also help bag
clothes, run shopping carts, serve the meal, clear tables, or bag up animal
food, if the church staff requires help with those as well. Hands4Hope
participants work at the Saturday Cafe every 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the
month, and all aged youth are welcome to participate in this outreach.
