We were excited to get to participate in a volunteer day for Our Village Closet over the weekend. Our Village Closet (OVC) is a resource center for youth impacted by foster care in Sonoma County, providing essential supplies and a safe community space where dignity is always prioritized. Youth and their caregivers are able to go to OVC to shop for free for essentials that they need and to find a community of support.

Santa Rosa Women for Good was proud to walk with the Zane Templin Foundation at the Out of Darkness suicide prevention walk today at Sonoma State. The Zane Templin Foundation was founded by SR Women for Good member Fran Templin in honor of her son Zane. Their organization works tirelessly all year to bring mental health services and suicide prevention to those in need in Sonoma County. We are proud to continue to be able to support their amazing work and for the opportunity for some of our group members to spend a bright Saturday morning together for a good cause.

Santa Rosa Women for Good has established an annual tradition of selecting families in need to purchase holiday gifts for and this year we were thrilled to be able to complete the wish lists for two local families. Our ladies got together tonight for a fun holiday social and to wrap gifts together at our final meeting of the year. Cheers to the close of an incredible year of community!

This Giving Tuesday we would like to share the organizations that Santa Rosa Women for Good has supported in 2024. All of these non-profits are doing incredible work and we were grateful to be able to support them this year with grants from our giving circle. If you are looking for amazing community driven organizations to gift with a donation today, any of these groups would be excellent to consider.
