What’s Happening

The Third Annual Stroller Drive to help mothers of The Living Room is on! From now through December 31st, drop off a baby stroller in good mechanical order at The Living Room, Mondays through Fridays, from 9am-1pm (636 Cherry Street), or to any branch of Community First Credit Union (501 College Ave at Mendocino, or 70-A Stony Point Rd, both in Santa Rosa). HUGE thanks to Community First for partnering with us for this event. Strollers are the single most critical and consistent need of the women and children who are helped at The Living Room. Call 579-0138 for more information.


Thank you to all of our supporters for joining us at the screening of A Christmas Story at the 6th Street Playhouse. Great fun was had by all! And much needed funds were raised for The Living Room programs.

The Living Room would like to express our deep gratitude to all of our friends and supporters who came out to Field Stone Winery on Sunday, September 18th. It was a delightful day in the Alexander Valley with delicious food, fine wines and pleasant company. Special thanks to Sylvia Strong and Patsy Daniels as co-chairs of the event, and Caroline Banuelos as key staff support. Also to our underwriters, our winery donors, and food donors. We are very grateful for your generosity. On behalf of the women and children of The Living Room, we thank you.

The Living Room extends heartfelt appreciation to the Bank of America Charitable Foundation and North Coast Bank for each supporting our mission through $10,000 grants which support program services for women and children who are homeless or precariously housed in Sonoma County.
