The ShineOnCass Foundation partners with the Town of Oakland’s annual summer festival “Oakfest” to promote a special day to share kindness in honor of Cass called “ShineOn Oakland Day.” Oakfest features a weekend of community events, with the largest being “ShineOn Oakland Day” welcoming dozens of locally-grown food vendors, Maine artists and crafters, musicians and children's activities.
In 2018 the ShineOnCass Foundation organized a Cereal Drive to support food insecure kids in the summer through the Oakland Food Pantry. More than 250 boxes of cereal were collected and shared with families in need. Shine On!
Hundreds of kids in our community go without breakfast during the summer months. Cereal is a standard food item that can serve as both a meal and snacks for children. We think the cereal drive is a great opportunity for families to support other families in need, and a special way for kids to shine their own light by giving to others.
The Foundation also hosted an “Oakland Rocks” event, where hundreds of kids painted positive messages on rocks to hide in their community and help spread kindness. Join us for 2019 ShineOn Oakland Day!
