Family Giving Tree
The Family Giving Tree is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling the Holiday
wishes of children who would otherwise go without gifts. By selecting a wish card, our employees
pledge to purchase a gift for a child in need. Each December Homestead employees spend a few
hours sorting and wrapping gifts at their 100,000 square foot warehouse!

Second Harvest Food Bank
Second Harvest Food Bank is a private non-profit organization that collects and
distributes millions of pounds of food each year to low-income children, adults and
seniors. Homestead partners up with Second Harvest by coordinating food drives throughout
the year. Our employees also spend time in the warehouse sorting, labeling, and boxing
food items that will be distributed to different agencies and various programs for these
individuals.

multicultural and environmental education programs for children, youth and the community.

organic gardens to teach students about nutrition and the environment. Homestead employees
work with students in the garden and help assist teachers with their garden-related lesson
plans.

RAFT
RAFT believes hands-on learning is the best way to teach children, so they provide
teachers and community groups with creative tools and materials to promote hands-on
learning in science, math, technology, and art. Homestead has helped out with projects
that include bagging, sorting, and preparing various materials, and assembling educational
kits for local teachers.

Boys and Girls Clubs
Western Day is our annual company wide community service event with the Menlo Park
Boys and Girls Club. All of our employees attend this end of summer celebration. The kids
and staff get dressed up in Western attire, and there are a ton of booths for the kids to
enjoy. Homestead employees man the booths at the event, and assist the children with the
games. This is an annual favorite!
