Join us Feb 11th as we celebrate Sir Charles 5th Birthday! Though we cannot have our usual event hosted at Rincon Brewery Ventura we are still excited to be partnering and celebrating in our own way. Rincon Brewery Ventura will be donating 30% of all food sales on February 11th at the Ventura Location. All you need to do is mention Kids & Families Together when ordering at the Rincon Brewery Location.
We are also excited to announce that Rincon Brewery Ventura is bringing back some of our family’s favorite meals from our partnership with World Central Kitchen and Rincon Brewery Ventura; feeding our families 6 days a week for three months early during the pandemic. You can purchase these specialty menu items on their website at https://store27235229.company.site/ by Feb 9th and pick them up on February 11th.
We will also be releasing a short video (on K&FT social media channels) on February 11th highlighting a wonderful artist Kirby Ai who you might recognize as Sir Charles favorite musician and has played at his last two birthday events. As well as fun testimonials about Kids & Families Together and our favorite therapy dog! So, mark your calendars and save the date!
