Meet Sonora, our Volunteer Engagement Coordinator!

Sonora brings three years of dedication to BACC, and a background perfectly suited for the role. Before joining us, she served as a volunteer coordinator at the Aerospace Museum of California and worked as an Admissions & Financial Aid specialist at UC Berkeley's International House.

As the backbone of our volunteer department, Sonora works to understand each volunteer's unique skills and match them where they'll have the greatest impact, whether that's supporting community engagement, development, or beyond. As a one-woman team, she coordinates schedules and works directly with staff to make sure every volunteer shift runs smoothly.

A Sacramento State alum with a degree in Asian Studies, Sonora once had her sights set on conducting global business in Beijing. While COVID shifted those plans, she keeps her Mandarin sharp through friends and online pen pals.

We're so grateful to have her on the team!

This National Cancer Survivors Month, we're honored to share the story of one of our own: a BACC client whose experience reflects the resilience, self-advocacy, and support that can make such a difference during and after a cancer diagnosis.

Thank you, Falguni, for trusting us with your story. To everyone impacted by cancer: your experience matters, and we celebrate you.

Eating during cancer treatment can feel impossible, but it doesn't have to be.

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to stay nourished when appetite is low, swallowing is painful, or your body needs extra gentleness. We've put together smoothie recipes designed with chemo patients in mind: no yogurt, packed with baby spinach (you won't even taste it!), and boosted with protein to help maintain strength.
