¿Qué hace el condado de Sonoma en una crisis?
Nos cuidamos el uno al otro.
La misión del Feed It Forward >> Sonoma County es apoyar a nuestros vecinos y restaurantes familiares a través del patrocinio anónimo de comidas para personas sin trabajo durante la pandemia de Covid-19.

Hey Y'all! We're wrapping up Feed It Forward. Just wanted to give a final accounting of how we spent the money entrusted to us by this amazing community.
​
Our donations total was $40,812. We spent 6% ($2422.35) on the website, stamps, paper supplies, gas, credit card processing fees and a Thank You brunch for the volunteers. The other 94% of the donation money ($38,389.65) was spent directly on buying gift cards from restaurants in Sonoma County.
​
We've given out 1,134 gift cards ranging in value from $10-$100, most of them $40. They went to:
​
425 to individuals through the website
100 to the Graton Day Labor Center
50 to feed downtown SR homeless
30 to YWCA Safe House & Special Place programs
100 to Social Advocates for Youth
25 to SAY Meal Train Program
150 to CAP Sonoma Covid Relief Program & Women's Shelters
53 to The Living Room Shelter for Women and Children
61 to COTS Homeless Shelter
40 to Sebastopol Community Church's Covid Relief Program
100 to Sonoma County Council on Aging
​
We owe a big fat THANK YOU to all the wonderful folks in our community who supported this project with their money, their time, or their resources. Here in Sonoma County, we look out for each other!
We are wrapping FIF up because we are pooped and need to attend to other things, not because we think there is no longer a need to help those who are struggling. Please check our website for some info about other places to get help. https://www.feeditforwardsonomacounty.org/
¿Cuál es el concepto de "Pagar a futuro"?
Todos somos, en un momento u otro, el receptor de la bondad cuando realmente la necesitamos. Si pagamos esta bondad en adelante estamos haciendo una buen causa para otra persona cuando podamos, la bondad sigue extendiéndose como un efecto ondulado y hace de nuestro mundo un lugar más hermoso y amoroso.
