Mission Action Gifts

 June is Pride Month and we have decided to support a local LGBTQ+ organization for our June Mission Action donation. The Solano Pride Center has been working since 1988 to ensure that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Intersex individuals have a network of resources and educational tools to meet their needs. Over the years Solano Pride Center offers a variety of community building and recreational activities, including free mental health counseling, an information and referral hotline, and weekly support groups for women, men, and youth. If you want to volunteer, or make your own donation to Solano Pride go to https://www.solanopride.org/get_involved

During Summertime with school out, there are many youth who need daycare, or activities, to keep them busy while their parents are working. For July, we will be donating the Mission Action gift to Watch Me Grow - a resource and childcare center in Solano County. The mission of Watch Grow Inc. is to strengthen families in Solano County, by providing quality childcare while partnering up with different organizations to build a bridge between the resources and families in need. They support parents to connect them with the proper resources and services, such as job placement, childcare alternative payment, rental assistance, mental health, and trauma services.

They have a free summer youth program "Ignite The Spark" which aims to ignite the natural curiosity, interest, and talents within youth, providing them with opportunities to explore and develop their potential in various areas such as academics, arts, sports, and personal growth. It signifies the goal of sparking excitement and motivation within the participants, igniting a desire for continuous learning and improvement.
