Child and Family Activities

Walk a Mile in their Shoes is this Saturday! Register today for our online event!

Lassen Family Services, Inc. is hosting its 7th annual Walk a Mile in Their Shoes Event. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have elected to host our event online. Online, you will have the opportunity to participate in fun activities while you continue to practice social distancing. And the webinar is completely free! 

The plan for our Walk a Mile online event is to bring awareness to victims of crime in a supportive and fun way. April is Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Awareness month, and our goal at Lassen Family Services is to bring an end to violent crimes and offer hope and help to victims.

During our online Walk a Mile event we will have an opening ceremony, as we always have, just in a webinar format. Then, we will send you out the door (or if you choose, indoors) for a virtual scavenger hunt. We want you and your family to take pictures and post them on Instagram and Facebook. Follow the directions found on our website. Then, online together, we will participate in a tea party with our local Snow Queen, sing fun karaoke songs, make a craft, learn an art project, and even eat a snack together. All of the Walk a Mile activities are online and fun for the whole family. Please register for our zoom webinar at www.lassenfamilyservices.org/wam2020

Here is a schedule of the day’s events (times and events are subject to change)

Event Overview

· 12:30 pm Denim Day Pocket Craft with Laura. On April 29th, people around the world will wear denim in honor of Denim Day. Denim Day started in response to a 1988 Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction “because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them, and by removing the jeans it was no longer rape but consensual”. We encourage everyone to wear denim next week to remind people that being a victim is never consensual. Laura will help you make a fun craft in honor of Denim Day. Make sure to have scissors, jean pocket material, fabric glue, beads, markers, and fabric puff (if you have it) before we start the craft! 

· 1:00 pm Make a snack with Jena Roof from CalFresh. During Saturday's Walk a Mile event we will share information and resources and demonstrate a "ReThink Your Drink" recipe and healthy snack recipe. We look forward to ‘seeing’ everyone!
