Our Family Nights are private events that create an opportunity for the children and families we partner with to come together in community with each other, as well as with Family Building Blocks staff and volunteers.

This year, we welcomed around 480 guests, including more than 100 families and 400 children, along with our wonderful volunteers and staff, for a special evening together at Salem’s Riverfront Park and Carousel.

The park was full of laughter and connection as families enjoyed a delicious meal together – special thank you to our local partners at Comcast Infinity for grilling up our burgers and hot dogs, to our Food Service Team for creating the sides, and to our staff and volunteers serving and assisting families to make sure all our families had what they needed!

Our team loved sharing book-themed games and activities, photos at our photo booth, face painting, and carousel rides. Every child was able to take a book (or two!) home. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this evening so special! We are incredibly grateful for the volunteers, staff, and community members who show up to support children and families.

Until next year!
