The City of Grass Valley has partnered with GVLRS in organizing the Donation Day Parade. The parade continues to be held in December of each year. Children bring canned goods to donate. GVLRS then transports the canned goods to Interfaith Food Ministry to be distributed to families in need.

This year's Donation Day will be on Friday, December 19, 2025, beginning at 10:00a.m. at Neal and Church Street. Please come and watch the parade.
