In-A-Pinch (IAP)
In-A-Pinch is a member volunteer network that operates at times when an extra pair of hands is needed- following the arrival of a new baby, an illness or death in the family, surgery, or experiences that disrupt a family's daily routine. The SBMC In-A-Pinch group steps in to organize Club assistance for the family in need. This can include transportation, babysitting, grocery shopping and meals. The In-A-Pinch coordinator will arrange for other members to assist. In-A-Pinch defines what the San Bruno Mothers Club is all about: charity, goodwill, compassion, friendly and assistance to others. For more information, please contact the In-A-Pinch coordinator. IAP volunteers have their names put in the IAP Raffle for each service they provide. Prize drawings are held twice a year, at the Summer Picnic and Holiday Party.
