What We Provide

Food (hot dogs, chili dogs, burgers, (veggie burgers & veggie dogs), chips, sides, dessert, drinks, etc., will be available for free. Children’s activities will be provided in a select area (face painting, carnival-type games, etc.).  If it’s a nice day we might set up some eating tables outside with corn hole, horseshoes, checkers, kids activities, etc., as well. We can provide a table (we have both round and rectangular), 2 chairs per table, and a sign with your agency name (if desired you must let us know exactly what you want put on the sign). Some agencies bring their own tables, chairs, and signs, so be sure to request these if you desire ours. Connection to electricity can be arranged if requested.

Though not required, please consider bringing some sort of freebie to give out—free stuff is often a draw for people attending these events (pens, pencils, highlighters, cups, keychains, frisbees, candy, etc., etc.). Also bring a table cloth (if you want one), and any fliers, brochures, business cards, signage, displays, etc.

In addition to educating the public and connecting with people in need, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about fellow community agencies, network, and discover possible volunteers and donors. 79 AC helping agencies were in attendance last year! The FBC host site provides: space, food, activities, bags for freebies, an advertising photo booth, and (if needed:) tables, chairs, electrical access, and agency signs. Agencies should plan to bring:  Tablecloths, agency signs/banners/displays, info to distribute (fliers, brochures, business cards, etc.), and freebies to hand out (logo materials such as pens, frisbees, keychains, etc., or generic things like candy, granola bars, post-its, etc.)

When you reserve your table, please also answer the following questions:

2. If space is available, do you prefer more than one table?
3. Do you need access to a power outlet for anything?
4. Do you plan to bring your own sign (so people can easily look around the room and identify the different organizations), or do you want us to provide one? If you want us to provide the sign, please tell us exactly what you want it to say (name of the organization, etc.).
5. Please provide a name, email address, and cell number (in case we have last minute updates) of the person who will be manning your booth.
