Bring Donations and Indulge Yourself at Federicos' Pamper Party

Federicos hosts a special Pre-Thanksgiving Pamper Party this Sunday in exchange for donations for the Alameda County Community Food Bank

Give and you shall receive.

That’s the concept behind ’s unique — and relaxing — .

From 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, bring five non-perishable food items to the Union Landing restaurant and, in turn, get treated to a massage, facial, jewelry styling, and gourmet chocolate, along with food and drinks from Federicos.

Among the local businesses participating in Sunday’s event are Body Klinique Salon and Day Spa of Fremont, who will provide oxygen-enriched facials; Union City’s , which will give out free 10-minute massages; Landru Chocolates of Newark, which will allow visitors to indulge in a gourmet chocolate tasting; and Stella & Dot, a women’s jewelry company for which Rodriguez is a stylist and saleswoman. Rodriguez will offer free style consulting.

While you immerse yourself in the services, Federicos staff will keep the tapas and drinks — sangria and non-alcoholic beverages — pouring.

Though the products and services will make great holiday gifts, visitors are not obligated to make any purchases, Rodriguez said. The event will simply introduce each business to party attendees.

“Come and hang out, meet up with your girlfriends and have a good afternoon just hanging out,” Rodriguez said.

Though the event is geared more to women, men are also welcome.

“It’s not like men can’t get a facial or a massage,” she said.

Because time and space is limited, Rodriguez is accepting RSVPs for Sunday’s pamper party. To reserve a slot, email Rodriguez at stylistchristina@hotmail.com or call 510-517-6832.

Food Donations will be accepted at Federicos until Nov. 27.
