Becoming Independent
BI is engaged in no less than the next civil rights movement on behalf of people who are developmentally disabled. They are committed to attaining full rights for all. With every outreach the message is: PEOPLE, just people who want the same primary things we all do: love, acceptance, respect. Becoming Independent is dedicated to clearing the path to full integration.
Audubon Canyon Ranch
ACR preserves Marin and Sonoma wildlands and open space forever — with over 2,000 acres saved so far. Their outreach fosters an appreciation for native plants and animals and reminds us of our vital relationship with nature.
Forget Me Not Farm
Forget Me Not Farm (affiliate of the Sonoma County Humane Society) creates a haven for children and animals to bond to stop the cycle of abuse. In an organic farm setting, children watch seeds grow into life and animals grow into companions who teach them how to love and trust once again.
Ceres Community Project
Ceres brings the healing power of natural food into our communities.
Each week they teach teens how to cook organic healthy meals — then deliver the food to neighbors dealing with life threatening illnesses. This circle of care nutures our human connections and demonstrates the power of eating real food.
Redwood Empire Food Bank
REFB not only dedicates itself to ending hunger - but also creates programs to help people understand its causes and solutions. It is a pioneer in the outreach to change the dynamic of hunger and obesity. Affordable, nutrient-rich food must be made available and convenient to compete with the cheap junk food option.
