About SMS Tap to expand

Single Mom Strong

Single Mom Strong is a Sacramento-based nonprofit that stands beside single mothers and their children with practical support and a welcoming community. Their belief is simple and powerful: with the right tools and encouragement, families can thrive.

What started as a local effort has grown into a village—one that offers care for children, confidence for moms, and connection for both. Programs are designed to be accessible, respectful, and results-oriented, meeting families where they are and helping them take the next step forward.

What they provide

  • Quality early learning and childcare with the EmpowerME Preschool & Childcare, making dependable care attainable for single-income households.
  • Career advancement support—from resume coaching and mock interviews to a free Career Clothing Closet—so moms can pursue opportunity with confidence.
  • Community and belonging through empowerment workshops, “Mom & Me” outings, and supportive gatherings that reduce isolation and build durable networks.
  • Enrichment for kids—tutoring, camps, and hands-on learning partnerships—because a child’s growth is central to a family’s future.
The impact is tangible: moms feel seen and prepared; children feel safe and inspired; families gain steady footing. It’s practical help wrapped in kindness—exactly what many of our neighbors need.

Program Spotlight:
Men's Mentoring Team

Single Mom Strong’s Men’s Mentoring Program creates sustained, healthy relationships between caring, positive male role models and school-aged children of single moms. Mentors are screened, trained and supported to meet regularly and consistently with mentees, for about 2.5 hours each month, throughout the school year. At these events, the children are exposed to new ideas and activities, but, most importantly, they are given an example of a man who will consistently show up for them.

We are looking for a few good men! Are you interested in making a positive impact on a child's life? (Or do you know someone who is?) EMAIL US to learn more , or check out this CBS13 NEWS SEGMENT featuring this program!

"Being a mentor in this community has led me through a remarkable collection of moments: small, powerful, unforgettable experiences that pull me back every year...I came in hoping to help kids grow. What I didn’t expect was how much they would help me grow, too. " -Francisco Rojas, Member. Men's Mentoring Team

Fair Oaks Library

The Fair Oaks Library is a public library located in Fair Oaks, California, that serves as a community hub for learning, culture, and engagement. While specific details (such as operating hours or programming schedules) may change over time, here are some key points about the library:

Community Focus

  • Public Resource: As part of the local public library system (often integrated with the Sacramento County Public Library system), the Fair Oaks Library provides residents with access to a broad range of materials including books, magazines, DVDs, and digital resources.
  • Programs and Events: The library frequently hosts events and programs for all age groups. These can include story times for children, book clubs, educational workshops, and community meetings. Such events are designed to foster literacy, lifelong learning, and community interaction.
  • Digital and In-Person Services: In addition to a physical collection, the library offers digital resources such as e-books, audiobooks, and online databases. Public computers and free Wi-Fi are typically available to assist with research, job applications, or other internet needs.

Environment

  • Welcoming Space: The library is known for its inviting atmosphere. It often includes dedicated areas for children, teens, and adults, making it a versatile space for families, students, and seniors.
  • Community Hub: Beyond lending materials, the Fair Oaks Library serves as a meeting place for community groups and local events, contributing to the social and educational fabric of the area.

Additional Information

  • Local Integration: Being part of the county’s library system means that residents often have access not only to the materials available at the Fair Oaks branch but also to a much larger interlibrary network. This allows for broader resource sharing and additional services.
  • Staying Updated: For the most current information on operating hours, specific programs, or any temporary changes (such as holiday closures or special events), it’s a good idea to check the library’s official website or contact them directly. Local government or the Sacramento County Public Library system’s site will typically have the latest updates.

The Fair Oaks Library is much more than just a place to borrow books—it’s an integral community institution dedicated to supporting education, culture, and community engagement in Fair Oaks, California. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study, a venue for community events, or simply a vast array of resources for learning and leisure, the Fair Oaks Library aims to meet those needs.

About the Guild Theater Tap to expand
The Guild Theater

The Guild Theater, located at 2828 35th Street in Sacramento's historic Oak Park neighborhood, has been a cultural landmark since its original opening in 1915. Designed and financed by Joseph Lewis, it was the largest of three theaters on 35th Street at the time.

Over the years, the theater has undergone several transformations, including periods as the Oak Park Theater, Victor Theater, and New Oak Park Theater. In 1952, it reopened as the Guild Theater, featuring a modern marquee and seating for 467 patrons. After a phase of decline and vacancy, the theater was revitalized and is now managed by St. HOPE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community development through public education, civic leadership, economic growth, and the arts.

Guild Theater historic photo

Founded in 1989 by former Mayor, NBA star and Oak Park resident Kevin Johnson, the St. HOPE organization accepted the challenge of restoring the Guild Theater after it had been vacant for many years, finishing the full restoration in 2003.

The Guild Theater in Sacramento is a cherished cultural venue that has long played a significant role in the local arts scene.

Historic Charm & Modern Vibe: Originally established as a community gathering place, the Guild Theater has maintained its historic character while evolving with modern updates. Its blend of classic architecture and contemporary amenities creates an intimate setting that enhances every performance.

Группа Разговорного Английского

Практикуйте разговорный английский в дружеской, небольшой группе под руководством обученного ведущего. Добро пожаловать всем уровням, включая новичков.

Группа предназначена для всех, независимо от языка или культурного происхождения, кто хочет практиковать разговорный английский и аудирование в тёплой, социальной обстановке.

Умение чувствовать себя комфортно и уверенно в неформальном общении важно даже в более формальных средах, таких как работа или учёба. Здесь вы налаживаете позитивные связи, заводите друзей, улучшаете уверенность и беглость речи, узнаёте больше об американской жизни и других культурах. Каждый раз — новые темы и задания, часто с картинками, чтобы встречи были интересными и интерактивными для любого уровня.

Важно: Это не «урок» в традиционном смысле. Ведущий не является учителем, и прямого обучения грамматике мало или совсем нет. Основной акцент — на словарный запас и живую практику речи. Дополнительные ресурсы или рекомендации могут быть предоставлены при необходимости или по запросу участников. Это пространство для обучения через практику. Ведущий может быть или не быть билингвом.

مجموعة محادثة اللغة الإنجليزية

المجموعة مفتوحة لأي شخص من أي خلفية لغوية أو ثقافية يرغب في ممارسة التحدث (والاستماع) إلى اللغة الإنجليزية في بيئة اجتماعية مرحبة.

الشعور بالراحة والثقة في المحادثات الاجتماعية غير الرسمية مهم حتى في البيئات الأكثر رسمية، مثل العمل أو الجامعة. فهذه الطريقة تساعدك على بناء علاقات إيجابية مع الآخرين، والتي قد تفيدك لاحقًا، كما تساعدك على تكوين صداقات. حسّن ثقتك وطلاقتك في اللغة الإنجليزية، وتعرّف على الحياة الأمريكية وثقافات أخرى، وابنِ روابط اجتماعية. سيتم استخدام مواضيع وأنشطة مختلفة، غالبًا باستخدام الصور، في كل مرة لجعل المجموعة ممتعة وتفاعلية لأي مستوى.

ملاحظة: هذه ليست “صفًا دراسيًا” بالمعنى التقليدي. المُيسر ليس معلمًا، ولا يوجد تعليم مكثف لقواعد اللغة، إن وُجد، حيث يركز اللقاء أكثر على المفردات والممارسة الفعلية للتحدث. قد يتم توفير موارد أخرى أو إحالات عند الحاجة أو الطلب. هذه مساحة للمشاركين ليتعلموا من خلال الممارسة، بقضاء وقتهم في التحدث! قد يكون المُيسر ثنائي اللغة أو لا.

The Guild Theater, located at 2828 35th Street in Sacramento's historic Oak Park neighborhood, has been a cultural landmark since its original opening in 1915. Designed and financed by Joseph Lewis, it was the largest of three theaters on 35th Street at the time.

Over the years, the theater has undergone several transformations, including periods as the Oak Park Theater, Victor Theater, and New Oak Park Theater. In 1952, it reopened as the Guild Theater, featuring a modern marquee and seating for 467 patrons. After a phase of decline and vacancy, the theater was revitalized and is now managed by St. HOPE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community development through public education, civic leadership, economic growth, and the arts.

Process-Based Art Tap to expand
Process-Based Art — Jackson Pollock-style paint action

Jackson Pollock
1912-1956

🎨 Process-Based Art: Create Explore Discover

Process-based art centers the act of making over a polished end product. It invites experimentation, play, and spontaneity—letting you explore materials, techniques, and movement without a fixed outcome. The goal is the journey of creating: try, layer, react, repeat.

Key Characteristics

  • Process first — outcome is secondary to exploration.
  • Freedom from rigid rules — embrace happy accidents.
  • Mix & layer media — paint, ink, collage, fabric, found objects.
  • Follow intuition — gesture, rhythm, and movement guide the work.
  • Personal & expressive — process becomes a record of thought and feeling.

Why Artists Love It

Reduces perfection pressure, builds creative confidence, and sparks original ideas through playful iteration.

Why Educators Use It

Supports multiple ages and abilities, encourages risk-taking, and builds reflection skills (what worked, what changed, what’s next).

Why It’s “Messy”

Layering, gluing, scraping, splattering—materials in motion. The “mess” is part of the magic and the documentation of process.

Quick Tips

  • Start with loose marks (no erasing—respond instead).
  • Layer three+ materials (e.g., watercolor + ink + collage).
  • Set a time limit to stay playful, not precious.
  • Pause, rotate, and react—let the piece tell you what’s next.

Influences & exemplars: Jackson Pollock (action painting), Eva Hesse (material/structural experimentation), Lynda Benglis (poured, textured media). Today, this approach thrives in contemporary studios, art therapy, and education.

About the Work of Citrus Heights HART

Mission: Citrus Heights HART provides resources that enable at-risk people and individuals experiencing homelessness in Citrus Heights and adjacent areas to become independent, self-sustaining, and participating members of the community. The organization serves the homeless of Citrus Heights by helping locals develop stable living situations through connections to needed resources, such as a homeless navigator or winter shelter.

Vision: To end homelessness in local communities, including Citrus Heights, by maximizing citizens' bargaining power and flexibility through formalized yet open-ended groups that address the complex problem of homelessness.

History: Citrus Heights HART is one of three HART organizations in outlying areas of Sacramento County, alongside those in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova. Each formed in response to the lack of decentralized access to homeless services. Many founding members began at soup kitchens or food banks. After learning from homeless individuals about service access difficulties, community members brainstormed solutions. The formalized yet open-ended group structure was chosen for its legitimacy and creativity in tackling homelessness.

Core Values:

  • Volunteer Generosity: Reliance on volunteer generosity to donate time and resources towards ending homelessness.
  • Community Partnerships: Partnership with local churches, government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, schools, faith communities, and city government to provide services and support for breaking the cycle of poverty.
  • Resource Connection: Focus on connecting homeless individuals with available resources and shedding light on underlying factors affecting poverty.
  • Education and Awareness: Emphasis on education through events about available services.

Leadership: Citrus Heights HART is led by a dedicated volunteer board including:

  • Irene Hronicek: Board Chair, Winter Sanctuary & Rental Assistance Committee Chair (Holy Family Church)
  • Kathilynn Carpenter: Treasurer, Spaghetti Fest & Rental Assistance Committee (Sunrise MarketPlace PBID)
  • Margaret Cleek: Secretary (Citrus Heights Resident)
  • Diane Ebbitt: Spaghetti Feed Committee (Citrus Heights Resident)
  • Denise Hinkson: Winter Sanctuary Committee (Starbucks)
  • Katherine McBride: Volunteer
  • Marcy Phipps: Rental Assistance Committee (Dignity Health)
  • Mike Nishimura: Rental Assistance Committee (Volunteer)
  • Auriel Taurone: PRIDE Industries
  • Wouter Boudrez: Laundry Love

Inclusivity: Citrus Heights HART serves people who may be sleeping on the streets, in cars, or couch surfing, regardless of how long they've been homeless—from a week to ten years. It focuses on locals in Citrus Heights and adjacent areas, partnering with diverse community members from business, schools, faith communities, and government to support those breaking the cycle of poverty.

Key Programs: Winter Sanctuary, Veteran's Standdown, Homeless Navigator (connecting individuals with resources), Housing Programs, Spaghetti Fest, Rental Assistance, and educational events to highlight poverty factors.

Citrus Heights HART is a volunteer-run organization united with sister groups in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova under hartstogether.org.

Learn more on the website or get in touch to get involved. Donations support programs like Winter Sanctuary and Homeless Navigator.

About the Guild Theater Tap to expand
The Guild Theater

The Guild Theater, located at 2828 35th Street in Sacramento's historic Oak Park neighborhood, has been a cultural landmark since its original opening in 1915. Designed and financed by Joseph Lewis, it was the largest of three theaters on 35th Street at the time.

Over the years, the theater has undergone several transformations, including periods as the Oak Park Theater, Victor Theater, and New Oak Park Theater. In 1952, it reopened as the Guild Theater, featuring a modern marquee and seating for 467 patrons. After a phase of decline and vacancy, the theater was revitalized and is now managed by St. HOPE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community development through public education, civic leadership, economic growth, and the arts.

Quick answers to common questions about the Chip Chip Hooray! free microchipping event.

Who can participate?
This event is intended for Citrus Heights residents. Please bring proof of residency (such as a driver’s license or utility bill) so staff can verify you live within city limits.

Which pets are eligible?
Dogs and cats are welcome. Pets should be healthy enough for a brief handling and microchip injection. Very young, sick, or medically fragile animals should be cleared by your veterinarian first.

Is microchipping really free?
Yes — microchipping itself is free at this event. Licensing fees may still apply depending on your pet’s status (spayed/neutered, senior, multi-year license, etc.). City staff can go over your specific licensing cost on-site.

What should I bring?

  • Proof of Citrus Heights residency
  • Your pet’s current rabies certificate (for licensing)
  • A photo ID
  • Any previous license information, if you have it

How should I handle my pet at the event?

  • Dogs: Must be on a secure leash (no retractable leashes preferred).
  • Cats: Must be in a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier.
  • Consider bringing a second person if your pet is nervous in new environments.

How long does microchipping take?
The chip is injected under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades using a small needle. The actual placement is quick — usually less than a minute — but plan a few extra minutes for check-in and paperwork.

Will my pet be in a database?
Yes. Staff will register your pet’s microchip with your contact information so that if your pet is found and scanned, you can be contacted quickly. Be sure to keep your contact details current with the microchip company and the city.

Do I have to license my pet at the same time?
You can get help with licensing on-site. If your pet is not currently licensed, or is due for renewal, this is a convenient chance to update everything in one visit.

What if my pet is already microchipped?
Staff can often help you look up or verify an existing chip and make sure your information is current, even if the chip was placed elsewhere.

Who is hosting this event?
The event is hosted by Chip Chip Hooray! in partnership with Citrus Heights Animal Services, as part of the city’s effort to keep local pets safe and reunited with their families.
