Shelby's Big Day of Giving Fundraiser

I support the California State Grange Foundation because it strengthens communities in real, tangible ways through disaster assistance, education, scholarships, and lifelong learning opportunities. Its work reflects a deep commitment to improving lives, supporting local Granges, and investing in the long term wellbeing of our communities. I have seen firsthand how these efforts make a difference, and I encourage you to join me in supporting an organization that turns shared values into meaningful impact.

My connection to the Grange is deeply personal. I am a fifth generation Grange member and currently serve as Treasurer of Ono Grange 445. After the Zogg Fire destroyed our hall, the California State Grange Foundation stepped in as our fiscal sponsor and helped make our rebuild possible. I have helped manage the financial side of that recovery, nearly two million dollars in funds, grants, and expenses, and I can say without hesitation that we would not have made it this far without the Foundation’s support. I have seen what it looks like when an organization truly shows up for its communities in times of need.

That experience is why I choose to give, and why I encourage you to do the same. By supporting the California State Grange Foundation, you help expand these opportunities, sustain critical programs, and ensure this work continues to benefit communities for generations to come.
