I reached out to SASSNA and Dave when I was looking for resources and help to determine if I was…read moreAutistic (age 41 at the time). Dave was great! He pointed me towards a local organization that did adult diagnosis, but he also encouraged me to navigate Kaiser Permanente's process since that was my health insurance provider. I successfully navigated Kaiser's process which is terrible if you're neurodivergent, but ultimately their Psychiatric team diagnosed me with ASD. I'm learning so much about myself, and thank Dave for the help he gave!

I want to take a minute to both thank and congratulate, Dave Gaines. Dave and the staff of SASSNA…read moreare doing some fantastic work with our youth (and their parents). This organization provides social services and supplies necessary outreach to both educate and advocate in the defense of our youth. Being non-profit, they work on your pre-agreed upon donations. Basically, what you can afford. My daughter tells me the whole staff from social workers to clerical are professional, helpful people. Since their time here, I can see huge changes within our entire family. Thanks to SASSNA, my grandchildren will have a better life growing up with this disability than I did. Thank you, again! 01/25

Today volunteered with SacRepublicFC at the River City Food Bank and it was quite a wonderful…read moreexperience. I have volunteered at local food banks since I was a kid and always enjoy giving back to my community. This one in particular really surprised me because it is ran so smoothly and is organized quite well. We served 451 families today and they mentioned sometimes it is upwards of 600. There was such an amazing spread of organic and natural foods along with some easy to make food that kiddos would enjoy. Something for everyone. Life can change in the blink of an eye and food insecurity affects more people than you can imagine. I appreciate that River City does not add extra stress to their intake process and streamlined the grocery process so that more people can provide food for their families. If you have the means to donate time, food, energy, or supplies, I would encourage you to do so. Thank you River City, staff, and volunteers for all you do.

I volunteered at RCFB regularly for about 7 months at the Edison location. I did not receive…read moreneither food nor wages. I am neither christian nor muslim. Work was hard & exhausting. Staff orders to volunteers are regularly contradictory, confusing & changing. I always felt I was treated as the outsider. One day a highly respected muslim customer demanded I be fired over a rule bent as favoritism. RCFB Management sided w the muslim. Not surprising,volunteers are not valued despite what management claims. Total waste of time.

Dropped off several bags of clothes and a bag of home goods to Louie, who greeted, swiftly helped me and shared some helpful information. Inside I met Mike as I was browsing the store. Mike share the days current sales and some other happenings. I guess I hadn't paid attention in the past, but noticed the store has a men's section which is nice. There is a children's section in the back of the store in an adjacent room. For women WEAVE has the full gamut from under garments to casual wear, business wear, leisure clothing and gala/ball gowns as well as a hefty selection of shoes.

This is a incredible place in Sacramento. I was in the market for some art supplies and got this…read morerecommendation for supplies that I could use. I went ahead and booked an appointment (not sure if you can go in without one). When I arrived it was a super easy process 1. ring door bell 2. tell them your name 3. grab a bag & "shop" I tried to be mindful of course and only take what I needed but I was so amazed by all the crafts they had and the condition they were in. You can only book once a month according to the website which is nice in my opinion that way you have a opportunity to get some good things. This is also a art studio so you can see the spaces artist have in the back as well. I also love that you can bring any supplies for the most part and donated some unique things were glass jars , cups, storage containers. I went around Christmas so there was a section of holiday supplies and decor. I scored some amazing things and would recommend folks to go if they have donations, picking up a new hobby or cant afford art supplies right now and still want to create. Lastly - they have so many community workshops & events too. Check them out!

Our son has grown so much socially and emotionally, and he genuinely loves going to school each day. A special thank you to Miss Marianne and Miss Geenie -- our son absolutely adores them. Their warmth, patience, and love for the children make a lasting impact. The school provides a safe, nurturing environment with a great balance of learning, play, and faith-based values. It's also extremely clean and professionally cleaned multiple times each week, which gives us great peace of mind. Communication with parents is excellent as well. We are very grateful for Good Shepherd Preschool and highly recommend it to any family looking for a loving place for their child to grow and thrive.

HandsOn Sacramento is the best place to look if you are interested in volunteering in the city (or…read moreanywhere nearby - they cover the whole region). They have a (free!) website where you can make a profile and sign up to volunteer. They partner with almost all nonprofits in Sacramento, so if you are interested in serving food, helping animals or bettering parks/neighborhoods (or anything really), you can check online to see what/when the next project is. They also host some big, city-wide events, like volunteering on MLK Day. Those are pretty fun because so many people show up. There is a Hands On (whatever city) in many places all over the country. I like Hands On Sacramento because: 1, I used to volunteer with them all the time 2. The staff you deal with is great 3. They partner with so many amazing orgs (and there are so many absolutely fantastic organizations in Sacramento - one of the things I am actually impressed by in this generally unimpressive city) 4. The big events they host are fun and they accomplish a lot So yeah, if you are looking to volunteer for a day, for a few months or even longer, you should definitely start your search by looking at what Hands On Sacramento has to offer.

The best part - it's all free... to volunteers and organizations.
