Family Building Blocks Summer Family Night 2024 is a wrap! Our Family Nights are private events that create an opportunity for the children and families we partner with to come together in community with each other as well as FBB staff and volunteers. We had a record breaking turnout with over 560+ children and their families. Our grand total was 650+ including staff, board members, and volunteers! Salem’s Riverfront Carousel was bursting with children and families enjoying time together socializing, eating, and playing games. Families enjoyed burgers and hot dogs, grilled by an amazing local team from Comcast, as well as fruit, snacks, and cookies, all served by our wonderful staff, board members, and volunteers. Special thanks to our Literacy Sponsor, MARION & POLK EARLY LEARNING HUB INC, for being with us and sharing the joy of reading with our families! Special thanks as well as the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley for their Toy Walk activity. We love supporting families with toys and books to bring home! #FamilyBuildingBlocks #KeepingChildrenSafe #KeepingFamiliesTogether
