2019 Big Day of Giving
Every May, over 600 nonprofit organizations in the Sacramento, CA region participates in an one day online giving campaign to raise unrestricted funds to further their causes and missions.
This year we are raising funds for some unexpected expenses after we had three hits the week before Big Day of Giving!
1- having our mowing tractor breakdown
2- receiving a $5,000 property tax bill due 5/31
3- having someone break into our property!
We invite you to participate in Big Day of Giving. You may give on the event page at www.bigdayofgiving.org or here on our website on the donate tab, which makes funds available to us immediately.

Saturday, March 18, 9 AM - 4 PM at the Grand Island Mission
With all the storms we have had this year, with not a lot of sunny dry days between, there is LOTS of cleanup to do on the grounds... downed tree limbs to remove, weeds to whack, leaves to rake, overgrown lawn to mow, roses and shrubs to prune, and much, much more! We'd love to have you come out to join us for hopefully a non-rainy day to clean up as much as possible in one day.
If you enjoy country road biking, you might just want to throw in your bike to reward yourself with a nice afternoon or evening sunset cruise once we are done. Your route will take you meandering through the vineyards, orchards and along the Steamboat Slough levee road.
