At Happy Tails, animals in need can receive the love, shelter, and medical care they need so desperately, and be given a second chance at life in a new forever home. After adoption, any Happy Tails animal can be returned, no questions asked. In addition to adoption services, our organization also provides spay and neuter care, vaccinations, and assistance programs for pet owners who are eldery, homeless, or low-income. Through our feral cat program, we also maintain multiple healthy, spayed and neutered feral cat communities throughout the Sacramento area.

The West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) was established in 1965. It covers the cities of El Cerrito, San Pablo, Pinole, and Hercules and the unincorporated areas of Bayview-Montalvin Manor, East Richmond Heights, El Sobrante, Kensington, North Richmond, and Tara Hills.

Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park sits in Midtown Sacramento in an area that has been the homeland of the Nisenan people since time immemorial. From 1839 to 1849, Sutter’s Fort was the economic center of the first permanent European colonial settlement in California’s Central Valley. Its founder was a Swiss immigrant named John Sutter who named his vast Mexican land grant “New Helvetia.” During that time, the Fort catalyzed patterns of change across California. No one felt those changes more acutely than the diverse Native peoples whose lives were transformed by the Fort’s presence. Many different Native people helped build the Fort, and their exploited labor made the Fort’s many industries possible. The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 started the gold rush that ultimately undermined Sutter’s businesses at the Fort and led to an even greater exploitation of Native people across California.

Established in 1976 as one of India’s original IT garage start-ups, HCL is a pioneer of modern computing with many firsts to its credit, including the introduction of the 8-bit microprocessor-based computer in 1978 well before its global peers.

The Head Trauma Support Project (HTSP) began 35 years ago as families of brain injury survivors united to support one another in making the journey from coma to community. At the time, no Sacramento-area resources existed to help survivors or their families adjust to life after brain injury.

Over the years, the project has expanded. It now includes survivors of brain injury, families and friends, caregivers and medical and rehabilitation professionals. HTSP brings people together with a common goal of promoting better understanding, treatment and quality of life for those with brain injury. Through support groups, survivors and family members continue to gain peer support while participating in social activities and listening to guest lecturers. HTSP empowers individuals to improve their potential and lead fuller lives. Our support groups are facilitated by professionals, and draw families and survivors from Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties.

The mission of the Health Education Council is to cultivate health and well-being in under-served communities by leveraging the power of collaboration.

Since our establishment in 1979, we have partnered with diverse communities across Northern California to reduce health disparities and chronic disease in the region's low-income communities.

At the Health Education Council, we believe good health and well-being don't happen in isolation; rather, we are all at our healthiest when we are surrounded by thriving families, schools, businesses, and parks.
