February Highlights

Black History Month

This February we honor and celebrate ALL our black heroes and heroines and particularly those whose contributions often go unrecognized. We challenge you all to find and share stories of these uncelebrated individuals. Let us know who inspires you, and we will feature them in our newsletter throughout the year.

This Black History Month, we honor the companies who not only recognize the importance of having diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces, but who are also vocally defending their DEI programs in this current political climate.

We are proud to recognize the following companies for their commitment and leadership in the DEI space: GAP Inc. (including Old Navy, Athleta, Banana Republic), Levi Strauss & Co., Salesforce, Costco, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Microsoft, Apple, Ben & Jerry's, e.l.f. Beauty, Delta Airlines, Nike, Pinterest and Etsy.



Valentines Day: A Celebration of Love ALL Month Long!

What better way to show, give and spread love this month than through acts of service? We are low on sign-ups this month so why not be our Valentine and help us serve 1500 meals a day in our community! Join us in making a difference and share the love with those who need it most!

March Highlights

Did you know Women’s History Month started as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, in 1978 as ‘Women’s History Week’?  Today, it is a national movement!

This March we honor the strength and resilience of women who paved the way for the opportunities we enjoy today.
