Still feeling the warmth from our Women’s Café at the River 🌿✨

We spent the day slowing down, creating with our hands, and connecting with an incredible community of women right by the water. It truly was the perfect blend of rest, craft, and community.

Swipe through to see some of our favorite moments from the day! 🪵☕️📖

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this day so special. Can't wait for the next one! 👇

Preparing for birth can feel overwhelming when you're not sure what questions to ask or who to turn to. 🤰

That's why we created Birth & Beyond—a 3-session journey starting June 10 where pregnant women and new moms in Sacramento can learn, prepare, and connect with others walking the same path. You'll get expert guidance on everything from third-trimester readiness to life after baby, and we'll celebrate together at a community baby shower in August. 💛

What's one question you wish someone had answered before your third trimester?

Today, families across Sacramento and around the world gather to celebrate Eid al-Adha—a time of sacrifice, generosity, and community.
🌙 At REDA, we see these same values reflected in the strength of the immigrant families we serve every day. The spirit of giving, caring for those in need, and building stronger bonds reminds us why this work matters.
✨ Eid Mubarak to all celebrating - may your day be filled with joy, connection, and blessings.

At our recent Health and Nutrition Workshop, parents and their kids gathered at REDA's community center for a day of learning and growth. What started as a lesson about healthy eating became something much bigger. 🥗

✨ A Shared Learning Experience
It was inspiring to see kids translating for their parents as families discovered affordable nutrition options together. Everyone left with practical tools to build healthier routines in their new home.

🤝 Why This Work Matters
Watching parents and children learn side by side reminds us why we do this. When we remove language barriers and create welcoming spaces, immigrant families don't just survive - they thrive. 📈

What is one thing you wish you had learned about health and nutrition when you were younger? 🍎💬

۲۵۰+ دانش‌آموز. بیش از ۱۰۰،۰۰۰ دلار کمک‌هزینه تحصیلی رایگان 🎓✨

این فقط یک عدد نیست — این نشان‌دهنده ۲۵۰ خانواده است که به فرزندان خود آینده‌ای روشن‌تر داده‌اند. وقتی موانع زبانی و اداری برداشته شوند، خانواده‌های مهاجر می‌توانند به منابعی بیشتردسترسی پیدا کنند که برای آن‌هاآماده شده است.

ما در REDA افتخار می‌کنیم که در کنار شما بوده‌ایم — و همچنان اینجا هستیم تا به خانواده‌های بیشتری کمک کنیم 💙

Your neighbors built these businesses, and today's your chance to support them in person.
