This year is the 57th Annual Harvest Festival. The Harvest festival raises money for FCLCA and builds community by offering music, food, great deals on treasures and opportunities to connect. All of the money raised goes directly to FCLCA. This year we have Taiko Drummers along with a whole day of entertainment and great vendors like Tin Pot Creamery and Cafe Ventetia.
We need people starting on the Friday afternoon to help do set up which will take maybe four to six hours on Friday and we need people on Saturday morning till Saturday afternoon to help with parking, set up, organization, cleanup, etc.
It has always been a very positive experience for the volunteers in the past. We will feed you and treat you with respect and kindness. We have forms for teenagers and adults that need to get service hours. We also feed our volunteers very well - good time had by all.

Mission Statement
The Friends Committee on Legislation of California (FCLCA), guided by Quaker values, advocates for California state laws that are just, compassionate and respectful of the inherent worth of every person.
Description
Sixty-Five Years of Witness at the Capitol
It began in the darkest days of the McCarthy era. In a climate marked by the repression of civil rights, Russ Jorgensen, an activist with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), joined with other courageous Quakers who stood up to fearmongering and put their values into practice.
In the early years, FCLCA opposed the loyalty oath amendment to California’s constitution, universal military training (precursor to the draft) and then - as now - worked to abolish capital punishment.
Through a combination of lobbying, grassroots activism, education and respectful dialogue, FCLCA has played a key role in many issues:
- Reform of the criminal justice system
- Equal opportunity in jobs, housing, education
- Civil liberties for people with AIDS
- Rights of minorities, young people, women and the poor
- Juvenile Justice
- Militarism in schools
- Farmworker rights and working conditions
- Funding for human services and education
And over the six decades, FCLCA has built a strong reputation at the Capitol as a thoughtful voice of conscience - and that means that legislators and their staff listen when FCLCA weighs in.
In 2017, we celebrated 65 years of advocacy. Bills may come and go, but the need for a voice that looks at legislation through the lens of the inherent worth and dignity of every individual will never go away.
