One stay, between Thanksgiving time and between Christmas time, they were at Grocery Outlet!

However, I think is call Grocery Outlet, I saw a Food Bank truck there just last Saturday! They are taking turkey donations, I sure other food donations!" Maybe fifteen minutes later, same gentleman comes back! "Thank you, young lady! They did indeed take my turkey donations." Wow, so my information that day was correct! Thank you to Auburn Food Bank for always helping people! Glad any Food Bank that I write, glad any Salvation Army Corps that I write, used help the children in that town, in that state! This situation, children of serene, peaceful, child friendly Auburn, California! This Food Bank does a good job! I wish them best of luck!

My daughter is 5 and loves going to shelters to cuddle cats but we were looking for somewhere to hang out for a bit. A few weeks ago, we found this place. We brought a chapter book in, sat and cuddled cats while reading and then shopped at the thrift shop! It's really cute. It would be amazing if someone could make a little coffee kiosk with really coffee machine, espresso machine or pastries!

Our dog found a baby bird that fell out of it's nest. At first glance, we thought she killed it…read more That wasn't the case, she was trying to save it by licking it since the bird was injured. It had a gash on its head and was too small to fly. Our dog was really sad and worried for the bird. We had heard about Gold Country and how they are known to help injured animals. I searched them on Yelp and luckily they were open. With our dog and baby bird in a small Amazon box in tow, we were off! They told us that they would put the bird in an incubator and nurse it back. They gave us their email and we could contact them to check on it. We were right about it being a baby dove. We were saddened to hear that after two days, the morning dove didn't make it. It's great to know we have a place close by to take animals that have been injured or displaced. Also, we bought several Tie Dye tees to support this wonderful organization.

I see the negative comments on here and it truly breaks my heart. A woman may be in need of help…read moreand because of these comments that woman could miss out on a life changing blessing for her and her children. I lived in this facility for over a year with my children. The women who work there, the people who volunteer there, the things you learn, the love you feel. Even to this day they reach out to me, check on me, and support me when I'm in need. Acres of hope taught me SO much i wouldnt know where to begin. It's hard work and of course there are rules and it's hard to live with a bunch of women and their kids sometimes and always get along but this place is a gift from God and if you are a homeless woman, in a domestic violence situation, if you and your child need help...PLEASE reach out to them and do the work. Stay when it gets hard, stay when you want to leave, and do the work! Take it from me, it'll change your life if you want it bad enough.
