OUR KIDS’ COMMUNITY BREAKFAST CLUB

Information Sheet

Our Kids’ Community Breakfast Club (OKCBC) is working with the California National Guard’s Counterdrug Taskforce in an effort to help protect our children against hunger and sickness, alcohol and drug use, gangs and violence in our neighborhoods.

OKCBC is also working under the umbrella of Consultants in Educational and Personal Skills (CEPS), a non-profit organization in Sacramento serving homeless men, women and children. It is our hope that all of our joint efforts will make a difference in the lives of children and their families.

Our Kids’ Community Breakfast Club was started in 1992 by Dr. Marlena Uhrik as a community engagement model in Hayward, CA. The program involves feeding families from low income schools during the time when school is not in session. Breakfast is served on Saturdays and during winter and spring school breaks. Educational workshops are provided for the adults and children have a variety of educational activities to choose from including tutoring in math and literacy, arts and crafts, dental and medical screenings and referrals. Our Kids’ Community Breakfast Club (OKBCB) will now be conducted in Sacramento.

The first Our Kids’ Community Breakfast Club (OKCBC) in Sacramento will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2009 from 9:00am-11:00am at the Oak Park Community Center located at 3425 Martin Luther King Blvd., Sacramento, CA.

We look forward to our continuous relationship to work toward a drug-free community. Thanks you again for all the support.
