Weekly Update: June 14, 2025

Dear Friend of SOS,

“A father is someone you look up to, no matter how tall you grow.” – Unknown

This Sunday is Father’s Day. I want to acknowledge the dads, grandfathers, brothers, uncles, husbands, and sons who make up 54% of those we serve and 30% of our volunteers. I want to honor the men who are taking care of their families, and the SOS staff and volunteers who care for those who are hungry, unhoused, and food deprived in Sonoma Valley. We look up to all of you.

Happy Father’s Day to the Dads of SOS: Luis, Martin, Dan, and Emmanuel

Summer is a difficult time for the food deprived, when school is shut for the summer and access to food programs is limited. Please consider making a donation to SOS via our website. Your help feeds hope!

Gratefully,

Kathy King
