California Love, California Strong
California Love, California Strong is connecting all Californians to a deeper sense of belonging through self-care, service and social connections. In partnership with the Office of the First Partner, we host monthly events bringing together local and state leaders, community members and volunteers to connect with resources, volunteer opportunities and one another. By providing these opportunities, we foster a more resilient and loving culture.
