Food, Fun, Games, Giveaways! Hope you can come play at this fabulous youth-centric event for all ages to celebrate all families, and our LGBTQIA+ Allies community in Nevada County. The Pride Family Picnic is more than just a celebration of love and diversity; it's a testament to the strength of our bonds and the beauty of our unity. We're committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels welcomed, accepted, and celebrated for who they are.
Our 3rd Annual Pride Family Picnic is one of our biggest events of the year and can only be held with contributions from our generous community to help pay for food, beverages, decorations, games and swag and other expenses that we incur. Thanks for your generous donations that can be made here.
Here are the specific ways that we would love your help.
Volunteers: We have a variety of volunteer needs for before, during and after the event. We are specifically looking for help in the following areas. Please share with those you think would be interested:
Event set-up, event cleanup, flier distribution around town, welcome table person, and “safe space holders” folks in this role will be primarily responsible for de-escalation needs and keeping an eye on event perimeter. We are also in need of someone to serve as a lead for Safe Space Holders, the lead would need to attend at least 1 planning meeting and would coordinate volunteers.
