Featured Dreams from the 2023 Bishop's Book of Dreams:
Food Program | St. Andrew's, Corning (Goal: $5,000)
St. Andrew's in Corning needs your support! With so many families having to rely on food banks to feed their families, St. Andrew's would like to help provide meats and poultry to families, as food banks typically provide canned & dry goods. Appeal funds will help to purchase meat or chicken for at least 12-30 families per month. Even a 10 lb. log of hamburger or two chickens could help a family feed themselves for at least 2-3 meals in a week. Knowing the community has an additional food source would bless those in need, and it would give the community a sense that St. Andrew's is truly an "open table" for the community. Read more...

(Goal: $5,000)
St. John's in Roseville, CA has partnered with the Neighborhood Wellness Foundation, an organization navigating and disrupting inter-generational trauma in Del Paso Heights and its surrounding communities.

Comprehensive services offered include primary care, mental and behavioral health, substance-abuse services, dental, reproductive health, professional development opportunities, and prevention-focused health education for the full student body (2000+ students).

Nurturing Farming Needs | St. John's, Chico (Goal: $5,000)
This program has engaged the community through the efforts of collaboration with the Jesus Center, allowing for St. John's Outreach Program to grow into the very heart of Chico's community. The farm plays a vital role in the use of the land at St. John’s and sharing in the fruits of the earth to those in need. It is an outlet to those seeking assistance and allows the opportunity to give back through job training and placement. Funds raised would be used for the purchase of 20 mixed citrus trees which would include lemon, lime, mandarins, and grapefruit. It would also include planting, irrigation lines, and soil amendment. Additionally, it would allow for the planting of a new winter garden in the farm's garden boxes, as well as plan for flowers in the spring that would be used to help support the Jesus Center Flower Market, which sells flowers on behalf of the Women's Group at the Jesus Center. The additional irrigation lines would support this new venture with the raised beds. Read more...
