Everyone is welcome. The public is encouraged to bring a nonperishable item to benefit the Alameda County Community Food Bank and get $5 off the $15 ticket price. Children 12 and under are free, yet they are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to instill a sense of giving and the importance of community investment. The goal is to raise 400 pounds of food over the two-day community focused event. People can bring their nonperishable food items and drop them off without having to attend the event; but organizers ask that they stay long enough to take a selfie. Corporate and Community volunteer groups are extended this great community opportunity as well. Just bring nonperishable food items while dressed in a corporate or organization T-Shirt and get a photo-op for newsletters.
"As Mayor Schaaf has announced "Shop Safe Oakland," we are pleased to be the first major event out the gate that is in alignment of what the City and evidently the people of Oakland like those involved with ' The Holiday Christmas & Kwanzaa Gift Show' want to do to rebuild Oakland's resilience," said James Moore, Jr., CEO of The African American Business Exchange (THEAABE.COM). "The family and community reunion" we are talking about brings the community together again as we help generate joy while stimulating business for our vendors and other businesses in downtown Oakland during the kickoff of this holiday season".
