A Fond Farewell -

Dear Friend of SOS,

I'm writing to you today with a deep sense of gratitude and immense pride in what we've accomplished together at SOS Unity Kitchen.

After 10 years serving as Executive Director, I have made the personal decision to step down from my role.

It has been my absolute privilege to witness firsthand the incredible impact we've made in our community.

This impact is truly a testament to the collective efforts of our tireless volunteers, our dedicated staff, community partners, businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based congregations, and especially the extraordinary generosity of supporters like you.

Together, we've built something remarkable. I am deeply proud of our achievements, including the 76,000 meals we served and delivered to the hungry in our Sonoma community in 2024.

Over the years together, we operated The Haven for homeless adults, providing food and shelter, access to showers, use of laundry facilities, and case management.

We provided a Safe Parking program for adults living in their cars and opened a Winter Shelter at Sonoma Alliance Church for those living outside during the cold months.

We pivoted during the pandemic and provided local hotel rooms to keep the unhoused warm and safe. We also hosted COVID and flu vaccine clinics.

When the need for food and other services increased, we moved from The Haven to Sonoma Valley Grange, and finally, in November 2023, opened our new home, Unity Kitchen.

Thanks to donors like you, private foundations, Sonoma County, and the City of Sonoma, we have been able to serve thousands of people in need since 2009.

Every meal, every service, every act of kindness has been made possible because of your support and belief in our mission.

My heartfelt thanks go out to each of you. Your compassion and commitment have created a community that helps those most vulnerable in Sonoma and Sonoma Valley. Please continue to support SOS.

As you know, I often include a quotation in my weekly updates. Because this is my last update, I’d like to end with an Irish blessing:

“May the road rise up
to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”

I am eternally grateful for the privilege of serving

With gratitude,
Kathy King

Feed Hope, Not Hunger

"Federal aid food cuts raise concerns. Local families may go hungry." This alarming headline from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reflects a very real worry: thousands of our neighbors – families, children, and seniors – could soon face critical food shortages.

At the Unity Kitchen, SOS is stepping up, driven by our deep commitment to ensure no one goes hungry. We're already making a huge impact, having served a remarkable 36,575 meals this year alone (including 15,599 breakfasts, 18,433 lunches, and 2,583 meals delivered to homebound clients).

Now, more than ever, the vulnerable members of our community need our collective help. Please, make a financial donation to SOS today. Your generosity will directly help us continue this vital work and feed hope where it's needed most.

Celebrating Fatherhood, Every Day!

At SOS Unity Kitchen, we know that fatherhood comes in many beautiful forms, and its impact is felt long after one special day. As we reflect on Father's Day yesterday, we're sending out a huge thank you to all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, sons, and mentors who nurture, protect, and inspire. Your presence shapes lives and strengthens our community.

We honor the love, hard work, and dedication you bring to your roles every single day. Thank you for all you do!

A Little Help Goes a Long Way (and Fills a Fridge!)
We're bursting with gratitude for our amazing friends at ExtraFood! Their dedicated team, like driver Damian with their new, bigger truck, rescues an incredible amount of food each week from local stores like Sonoma Market, Whole Foods, Safeway, and Lucky.

This generosity translates directly into meals and a constantly replenished community fridge at SOS Unity Kitchen, supporting an average of 124 visitors every day. Imagine the impact! Your online donation helps us continue this vital work, ensuring that recovered food reaches those who need it most. https://www.sonomaovernightsupport.org/
