KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) San Francisco is a not-for-profit organization that helps mentally- and physically- disabled children develop social skills through physical activity and wants you to help! There is no prior experience or special training required to participate; just bring your enthusiasm and energy!

Please join KEEN on Sunday, August 24, for a new volunteer orientation/training session from 1-1:30pm, and then from 1:30-4:30pm to participate in 2 sessions for the kids, Sports I (12 years and under) from 1:45 - 2:45pm, and Sports II (13 years and up) from 3:15 - 4:15pm.

If you can only attend one of the two sessions, please indicate so on the Evite, as the KEEN organizers try and pair up volunteers and children before the event.

Also, depending on the turnout/interest, we may also organize a get together after the event, so please indicate your interest in meeting up after the event in the Evite.

We will be working with Habitat for Humanity to build 51 affordable homes in Redwood City. Each home will employ "green" building principles and integrate solar electric panels into the roof to generate renewable electric energy. The development will also feature a common area including benches and a barbecue pit for all residents.

Current tasks include framing and putting up dry wall. These tasks are subject to change as our date draws nearer. No previous construction experience necessary. However you must be at least 16 years of age and be able to work the full day.

AACO volunteers helped out with planting tomatoes and preparing garden beds back in May and now we will have the opportunity to harvest these tomatoes and other veggies. If you have a green thumb and don't mind getting a little dirty, this is the volunteer event for you!

Bay Area food pantries struggle to provide nutritious food for the local homeless and low-income population. The Almost Eden Garden Project grows premium-quality organic produce for several local organizations that provide meals and services for homeless and low-income families -weekly deliveries are made to Urban Ministries in Palo Alto, Bread Of Life Ministries in East Palo Alto and to the South Palo Alto Food Closet.
