Good morning folks! In a few weeks, Pleasant Hill will be hosting our annual Community Service Day on September 19th, 2026. This city-wide event provides everyone who would like to get involved with an opportunity to participate and help to support, contribute and lend a hand in making a difference in our community.

The Pleasant Hill Police Department is working with our friends at Grocery Outlet and the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano Counties in collecting new, unexpired, shelf-stable foodstuffs to help feed and sustain people in our communities. On September 19th, from 9:00am - 12:00pm, members of Pleasant Hill PD will be in front of Grocery Outlet in Pleasant Hill, and we hope that anyone who is in a position to donate will stop-by to contribute and support.

Interested in helping but won't be able to stop by? Scan the QR in the image to be linked to donate directly to the Contra Costa Food Bank on behalf of Pleasant Hill! We hope you'll join us in helping to make a difference and supporting our communities.
