Last night we were thrilled to celebrate our Spring 2025 grant recipient Common Ground Society at our monthly social and present them with our $5,000 grant. Common Ground Society does incredible work promoting belonging and inclusion while supporting kids, families sand the whole community.

This past weekend some of our members were excited to get to volunteer at Inclusive Compass' 2025 Inclusion Festival in Petaluma!

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 was proud to sponsor The Zane Templin Foundation’s High Heels For Hope fundraiser this past Saturday. Not only was this event in support of an extremely important cause, but it was a lovely evening showcasing the power of togetherness. The Zane Templin Foundation is doing incredible work in Sonoma County supporting mental health and bringing hope to those affected by suicide and we are grateful to get to support them in their mission. “Replace the I with WE, illness becomes wellness.”

Santa Rosa Women for Good was proud to sponsor the fundraising event for Our Village Closet! OVC’s annual fundraiser helps to forward their important mission of supporting youth in foster care and their caregivers in Sonoma County by offering resources and community care.

This month for our meeting, the Santa Rosa Women for Good met up at the Redwood Empire Food Bank where we volunteered as a group and bagged produce. Over the course of two hours we were able to enjoying visiting together, talked about our hopes for impact with this quarter’s donation, and bagged over 1,523 lbs of carrots!
