Feed The Hood 34: Honoring Shock G's Legacy
The East Oakland Collective (EOC) is excited to announce the launch of Feed the Hood 34, a remarkable day dedicated to serving the community and honoring the legacy of Shock G. This annual event goes beyond just one day; it embodies a year-round commitment to assisting unhoused individuals and providing essential supplies. Through Feed the Hood, EOC aims to uplift the spirits of many and foster a sense of family within the East Oakland area.
Celebrating Community Care
Every summer, this event coincides with a cherished time known as Digital Underground Day, which is established to commemorate Shock G’s birthday and his incredible impact on culture. The love and creativity that he instilled within the community are reflected in every act of kindness shared through Feed the Hood 34. Candice Elder, the Founder and Executive Director, emphasizes the importance of this purpose. She advocates that the day is about taking care of one another and celebrates Shock G’s vibrant spirit.
Details of the Event
Feed the Hood 34 will take place during a family-friendly gathering where everyone is welcome to come together and support a worthy cause. The event is scheduled for a Saturday, from early morning to early afternoon. Attendees can expect to see volunteers working hard to distribute meals, snacks, water, and hygiene kits to the community members in need. The goal for this year's event is to provide over 1,500 meals, ensuring that many families receive help.
A Chance to Contribute
The event will not only make a direct impact on those in need but will also serve as an opportunity for individuals to engage and contribute meaningfully to community service. Volunteers and attendees will enjoy a warm atmosphere with refreshments provided, creating an inclusive and inviting setting, showing that everyone can play a part in building a stronger community.
