Please join us at our 2016 Holiday Party, Sunday December 11th from 3 to 6 pm at the Vanguard Properties office in the Barlow, 6970 McKinley Street@theBarlow, Sebastopol.
The ritual of sharing food is a vital way that we connect. Let’s gather to celebrate the abundance in our lives, and find common ground around the table. Food has the power to unite us. Gifts of food demonstrate that we care about each other.
Please bring appetizers or desserts to share – finger food please. We have wine and local cider to share with you.
We are collecting childrens books for The Living Room, a day center serving at risk women and children, and clean socks. We are collecting sweats for the emergency room at Sonoma West Medical Center, where many patients without homes or money show up cold and wet.
The Mission of The Living Room is to ease adversity and promote stability, dignity and self-reliance for women and children who are homeless, or at-risk of homelessness, in Sonoma County.
The Living Room welcomes homeless and at-risk women and their children into a warm and safe environment during the day when overnight shelters are closed. Caring staff and volunteers offer a lifeline during a time of crisis. Whether homeless for some time, newly homeless, or on the verge homelessness, women of all ages and mothers with children are greeted with love and understanding. Mother’s appreciate the child-friendly environment where they receive support while their children engage with toys and learning activities.
