Giving Back Close to Home: Volunteering in Our Foothill Communities
There's something wonderful about volunteering close to home. Along the way, you meet neighbors, discover organizations you may not have known existed, and become a little more connected to the place where you live.
The Heart of a Community: Why Kindness, Connection, and Civility Matter
As we move forward from another election season, I hope we can remember that while we have our differences, we share something important: this place we call home. The elections come and go. The campaign signs come down. But we're still neighbors. We'll continue to see one another at the grocery store, walk the same trails, enjoy the same parks, and share the same hopes for safe, welcoming, thriving communities.
We all have a role in shaping what comes next.
A great community isn't defined only by the homes we live in, but by how we treat the people who live around us. That's something worth working toward, together.
Is Your Home Ready for El Niño? A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way
Rain is usually welcome here in Southern California. Our gardens need it, our hills turn green, and there’s something especially nice about a rainy day when you can stay home.
With El Niño comes more attention to the possibility of a wet winter. While it doesn’t guarantee how much rain we’ll get, it’s a good reason to take care of a few things around the house before the storms arrive. These are worthwhile habits every fall, whatever the forecast.
