We are so grateful to the Russian River Rotary for awarding Our Village Closet a grant to help provide brand-new shoes for youth at our Back to School Event! 👟❤️

For so many children and teens impacted by foster care, going back to school can feel overwhelming. Something as simple as a new pair of shoes can help restore confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

Because of community partners like Russian River Rotary, hundreds of local youth will walk into the new school year feeling supported, prepared, and cared for.

Thank you for believing in these kids and helping us show up for them in such a meaningful way.

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 to all of our generous donors and this beautifully woven community who showed up to support the Russian River Give Back fundraiser for the Rockin the River Concert happening in August, a gift of music, free and open to all.
We are rooted here because this place reminds us what humanity looks like when it chooses kindness. The Russian River holds something genuine, people who still show up for each other.
Rotary lives by Service Above Self, and that isn’t just a motto, it’s a practice. From warming the shelter with a hot dinner, to clearing the roads others walk, to funding concerts that bring us together and scholarships that open doors for the next generation, we show up quietly, consistently, because we believe the small acts are the sacred ones.
If something in this stirs you, come find us. We gather every other Tuesday, and your first few dinners are on us, no strings, just a seat at the table and a chance to see what service feels like from the inside. Rockin' the River Rainbow Cattle Company
