Chicktime Sacramento,
Like many other Chicktime charity partners across the nation, our charity partner has been severely impacted financially by the Covid 19 crisis. Our team made a choice to do what we could remotely and participated in The Save The Red Door Fundraiser. In doing so we were able to raise $400 for our charity partner. In addition to this we are still actively building an Amazon wish list of activities for the program to alleviate the boredom we are sure is setting in. I want to thank Chicktime Sacramento for stepping up in this time of crisis. I’m humbled by your dedication to Chicktime Sacramento and our charity partner.
Saint John’s For Real Change reached out to thank us for all of our support! They were so touched by our generosity and immediate response to their plea for help.
I miss you ladies and can’t wait till we can be together again!
Stay healthy and safe!
Sincerely,
Sarah Dunwald
Managing Leader
Chicktime Sacramento

Chicktime Sacramento wants to leave a legacy… A legacy of love and hope given to the least of these!
This month we wanted to pamper the mom’s with tea, muffins, and gifts.
We are so grateful to all our volunteers and those who donated to our workshop.
Especially….. The Peaceful Bee Co. for their generosity! Each mom got a product from them as well as other goodies for self care.
Please join us next month!

Our April workshop at our new charity partner went great. We have a better understanding of the facility and the people we will serve. We can’t wait to make this our home away from home.
Earth day activity and a little bit of playtime! Come grow our chapter with us and let’s make a difference together!
January Update:
Due to new rules and regulations at our current charity partner, we were not able to have a workshop in January. They have suspended groups from volunteering until they figure out how to handle things best. At present, our Chicktime Chapter is looking for a new Charity Partner to serve. Please stay tuned.
June Update:
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Chicktime this month! We had so much playing with clay and making fun art with the kiddos!
Chicktime Sacramento would like to put out a very special THANK YOU to our Founder, Jeanette George, who will be moving this month. Jeanette, you have built a legacy in Sacramento that will last forever. The work you have done to bring love and friendship to the children who call the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento their home. You have rallied the women of our community to stand behind not just the mission of Chicktime, but also behind YOU. Thank you for founding our chapter, showing us how powerful kind words and hugs are, and for simply being you! We can’t wait to watch where your journey will take you next!
May Update:
Devoted Chicktime Sacramento Volunteers showed up to love and encourage the kids at the Children’s Receiving Home today!
A special thanks to Beatriz Schaller, Beatrice Galfre DDS, the best dentist ever, for her donation of toothbrushes, toothpaste.and dental floss for all the kids. They loved them.
Noting is more rewarding than working with these kids.
Join us next month!
March Update:
Chicktime Sacramento was busy this weekend. We held our monthly workshop with the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento. Amy and her daughter, Taylor, hand painted canvas for each of the kids to use as vision boards. They also decorated cupcakes and had pizza for snack! It was a huge success! We also ran a craft table at a community BBQ and Easter Egg Hunt. We had collage materials, leis, and lollipops! Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to both events.
Can’t wait to see you next month!!
February Update:
Our February workshop theme was….Everyone is beautiful and uniquely made!! To demonstrate this we made Inside/Out Bottles!
We are all made up of different layers. It is our own individual layers that make us who we are! Sometimes in
life certain things, events or even people create waves and this colors our life in different ways.
No two people have the same layers, waves, or colors.
It is up to us to decide how we are going to let these waves “layer” our lives.
#Unique #OnlyOneMe
Join us next month!

Oh what fun Chicktime Sacramento had today at the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento. It was such a great Christmas Party and we were blessed with so many wonderful donations.
We were able to give the kids a Hot Chocolate Bar, Cookie Decorating Table, Crafts, Fun Snacks, and even some really cool gifts.
Thanks again to all who came out and donated time, gifts, snacks, and your love and support.
We are so exited to see what the New Year will bring!
