In Session 13 of PLTI, participants explored “What is Public Policy?” We were joined by Solano County Supervisor Cassandra James, a PLTI alum who has gone on to serve her community in public office, and Yuritzi Jacobo from the District 1 Office. childnet.org/PLTI

If you’ve ever felt the need to make a difference in your community but didn’t know where to start, PLTI supports you with the knowledge, tools, connections, and leadership skills to advocate for children and families. childnet.org/plti

We are grateful to the Northern Solano County Association of Realtors for their generous donation to Children’s Network, made possible through the proceeds of their 19th Annual Golf Tournament held on October 10. Thank you for your continued support!

Families can receive nutritious food, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and shelf-stable items, and have the chance to connect with vendors and staff who can help with benefits and programs for ongoing access to food. For more resources, see childnet.org/resourceguide

As we head into the holidays, please note our office will be closed from Monday, December 22 through Friday, January 2, and will reopen on Monday, January 5. Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday season! We look forward to continuing our work together in the new year.

This holiday season, families joined us for SparkPoint’s Winter Wonderland! Thanks to the generosity of United Way of the Bay Area and our sponsors, 14 families and 38 children were able to pick out gifts for their kids. We hope you all had a joyful and restful holiday.
