We were excited to return to Glen A. Wilson High School and kick off a new 10-week financial literacy series for juniors and seniors. We began the series with our Career Journey workshop, helping students explore career paths, the steps needed to reach their goals, and how their financial decisions can connect to their future plans.

Throughout the 10-week series, students will have the opportunity to build practical knowledge around important financial topics as they prepare for life after high school. The series is designed to give students useful tools and information they can apply as they begin making decisions about college, careers, money, and their financial future.

We are grateful to Mr. Rogan, the teacher who collaborated with us to bring this series to his students. We appreciate the opportunity to work together again and look forward to supporting these juniors and seniors throughout the 10-week series.

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We reflect on the nearly 3,000 lives taken, the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families and communities whose lives were forever changed.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the lives, stories, and sacrifices of that day.

May we honor their memory through unity, compassion, and service to one another.
September 11, 2001 — Never Forget. 🇺🇸

We were excited to donate 15 additional bicycles to Firebaugh High School to support the school’s CTE Bike Tech program. Building on our previous donation, these bikes will give students even more opportunities to work hands-on with real equipment while developing valuable technical skills.

Through the program, students have the opportunity to repair, maintain, and work on the bicycles as part of their classroom experience. This type of hands-on learning helps students strengthen their problem-solving abilities, gain practical experience, and explore skills that can translate into future education and career opportunities.

We are grateful to Firebaugh High School for continuing to put these donations to meaningful use and for giving students the opportunity to learn by doing. We look forward to seeing how these 15 additional bikes contribute to the students’ continued learning and growth.

We partnered with Centro de Vida Victoriosa to host a Movie Night & Backpack Giveaway at our headquarters, bringing families and children together for an evening of fun, community, and back-to-school support. The event created a welcoming space for families to enjoy time together while connecting with local resources and celebrating the start of a new school year.

Throughout the evening, families enjoyed food, activities, and a movie, while children had the opportunity to participate in the different activities and enjoy a fun community gathering. As part of the event, we were also able to provide backpacks to children and families preparing for the new school year, helping ensure students had essential supplies as they headed back to the classroom.

We are especially grateful to JPMorgan Chase for generously donating the backpacks that made this giveaway possible. We also thank Centro de Vida Victoriosa for partnering with us to create a memorable event for local families and for helping us continue our commitment to supporting students and strengthening our community.

We hosted a Business Structure & Formalization Event in partnership with Rhema Central Church, bringing together small business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and families from low-to-moderate income communities for an engaging conversation about starting and formalizing a business. The event focused on simplifying a topic that can often feel overwhelming and helping participants understand that they do not need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.

Participants learned about the differences between common business structures, including sole proprietorships, LLCs, S corporations, and corporations, while gaining a better understanding of how choosing the right structure can impact their business. The discussion also emphasized practical steps entrepreneurs can take to move their ideas forward and build a strong foundation as their businesses grow.

We were grateful to be joined by Lucia from SBDC, Rick Lozano from Banc of California, Ricardo Carrillo from First Citizens Bank, and Rosie and Isaac from Royal Business Bank, who shared their expertise as panelists and helped make the conversation practical and engaging. Their insights, combined with an incredible turnout from the community, made the event a valuable opportunity to encourage more entrepreneurs to take that first step toward turning their ideas into successful businesses.

We were proud to donate 12 bicycles to the CTE Bike Tech program at Firebaugh High School, helping provide students with hands-on resources to support their career and technical education. The donation gives students an opportunity to work directly with bicycles as part of their learning experience while developing practical skills that can translate into future educational and career opportunities.

Through this contribution, we were able to support a program that combines technical education, hands-on learning, and career development, giving students valuable experience beyond the traditional classroom. Providing students with the tools and materials they need is an important part of creating meaningful pathways into the workforce and future careers.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support Firebaugh High School and its Bike Tech program and to contribute resources that can help students strengthen their technical skills, explore career interests, and gain valuable hands-on experience they can carry with them into the future.

We continued our financial literacy series with Heart of Compassion, delivering the third workshop for community members focused on Investing 101. The session introduced participants to the fundamentals of investing and emphasized how long-term planning can help individuals build wealth and achieve greater financial security.

During the workshop, participants learned the difference between saving and investing, the power of compound growth, common investment options, and the importance of starting early and investing consistently. The discussion also explored how investing can support long-term goals such as retirement, homeownership, and financial independence, while helping attendees better understand the relationship between risk and reward.

We were grateful to have Eli Rodriguez from Banc of California join us to lead the workshop and share his professional expertise. His real-world insights and practical guidance made the session engaging and informative, giving participants greater confidence and a stronger understanding of how investing can play an important role in building a secure financial future.

We had an incredible time continuing our Financial Literacy Series with Heart of Compassion, where community members came together to learn the fundamentals of investing and how to build a stronger financial future.

From understanding different investment options to learning why starting early can make a big difference, this workshop gave participants practical knowledge they can apply for years to come. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their experiences, and to Eli Rodriguez for helping make this workshop so impactful. We can't wait to see you at the next one!
