Weekly Update: August 16, 2025

Dear Friend of SOS,

This week at the kitchen we had a great many number of donations, both planned and surprise! Check out the recent community contributions:

Joel from Mary’s Pizza dropped off a donation of cookies

Alison and Michael hauled their home garden donation by bicycle

Lauren works at an after-school program that had some leftover sunbutter and jelly sandwiches and baby carrot and apple slices snacks

Rebecca from Sonoma Garden Park and double agent Mickey (a worker at SGP and volunteer at SOS) pose with produce grown less than 5 miles away

Left to Right, Tommy completed his community service hours for school, Marc and Mario from Becoming Independent come in for their shifts weekly
We’re happy to report that after we put out the call, the community answered, and we have 3 sign ups for the new on-call volunteer list! To sign up, email Petal at intake@sonomaovernightsupport.org with your phone number and email and which method of contact you prefer. If you sign up, you are agreeing to receive a message only when we’re short on volunteers. We will reach out either same day or with ~24 hour notice. No need to reply if you’re busy, but please do let us know if you can fill the need! We expect the most common needs to be a 2 hour shift in the kitchen, or a 1 hour shift of delivery.

From all of us at SOS, have a great weekend!
