Rebuild North Bay Foundation is committed to the long-term rebuilding of our region as a more sustainable and resilient community through Advocacy, Coordination and Economic and Workforce Development.
ICYMI: Come join us on February 23rd on the RiseUp Project: a mile of common fencing for Larkfield and Mark West Estates. This is a true community "fence raising" in support of hundreds of families who lost everything in the fires.
Over the past year we have worked diligently with the neighborhood leadership Michael Holdner and Brad Sherwood, Habitat for Humanity of Sonoma County, Friedman's Home Improvement, and Supervisor James Gore to secure nearly $500,000 in funding from 21 amazing donors to make this demonstration of #SonomaStrong a tangible deliverable for fire affected communities.
We will be filming this day for a short with Dogfilm. We'd love to have your hands, heart, and community spirit here with us as we bring this project home!
