I am writing to extend an invitation to religious leaders and administrators of houses of worship to attend a training on strategies and tools to protect your congregations in an active shooter situation. The training will be held in the Kennedy Learning Center on the first floor of the Robert T. Matsui Federal Courthouse, on
December 11, 2018, from 9:30am-12:00pm. Please no more than three representatives per congregation. Complete details can be found on the attached flyer.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, or if I can be of any assistance

Run to Feed the Hungry
Join the largest Thanksgiving Day fun run in the country!
Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services’ Run to Feed the Hungry on Thursday, November 22, 2018!
In 1994, 796 participants turned out for the inaugural Run to Feed the Hungry event on Thanksgiving morning. This Sacramento tradition, proudly celebrating a record-breaking 29,604 participants in 2017, is not only the largest run in Sacramento, but also the largest Thanksgiving Day fun run in the country!
Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS) owns, plans and hosts Run to Feed the Hungry. That means all funds raised directly benefit the organization and support programs. The costs associated with putting on this event are kept low as a result of our generous sponsors, contributions of goods and services and through the incredible volunteer efforts of the community!
