One of the hardest things about the pandemic has been witnessing the suffering within our community. Not just the tragedies due to COVID-19, but the suffering our local small businesses have endured. Many of these businesses have been around for decades and others are new businesses just trying to find their way. Small businesses are the pillars of our community. Here are some of our favorite local places to shop and support in the East Bay. You can make personal appointments, shop in- person or even just shop online!

So we celebrated Covid style- the entire clan- biodegradable confetti and individual bottles of champagne! for the grown ups - sparkling cider for the kids! cheers to new adventures!

Those who know me well, know how important my community is- not to mention- my love for our local public schools. Me and a fabulous group of Red Oak Agents came together and collaborated to support our kids. It may not let you read the article without a subscription, (sorry), but the short version is- we worked to raise money to support the WCCUSD, OUSD & BUSD with 48,000 dollars towards hot spots for students during this hard time. Go team!! ... If you’d like to donate to ROOF - for more great community causes, let me know! https://www.inman.com//3-agents-raise-48k-for-children-wi/
