farmhouse, two large barns, two pastures and a large garden.

grant from Sacramento Region Community Foundation will give us additional
resources to provide a safe and stable environment for the clients living at
the Farmhouse.”

of thousands of people throughout Yolo, Placer and Yuba Counties by providing
client-driven services which assist people to attain their highest level of
