Rancho Alegre is not participating in this year. Instead, we ask that, if you are able, you donate to local organizations doing the hard work to keep your communities healthy, fed, and safe (food banks, organizations that help with housing, animal welfare organizations, etc.). Similarly, if you need assistance, please contact an organization in your area and ask for help. Thank you for your support.
