Fresno Flyer Vol 5 No 7 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE It seems wild to think that with everything going on, there’s time to volunteer. The Central Valley is known for its grit, work-ethic, and pull-itself-up-by-itsown-bootstraps kind of attitude. We’re all working and, for many, working overtime in multiple places. Whether you’re at a job, in school, or taking care of house and family, you’re working. You may look at this month’s issue and find the thought of having enough free time to volunteer as an indulgent fantasy. But the purpose of this issue was not to make us feel the void of a work-life balance. Instead, we put this together to remind us all who else is selflessly hard at work. To shine a light on organizations trying to leave the world a little better than how they found it. Believe me, I wish I had a few hours each week to give to an organization of my choosing, and sometimes, it kills me that I don’t. However, I talk about them every chance I can get, wherever relevant. I do that because visibility matters. I’ve worked for nonprofits nearly my entire adult life. In all those years, there were so many times a person turned up at our doors, delighted to have found us because

someone had mentioned the organization’s name to them in passing. Whether that person came in need of the organization’s services or showed up because they wanted to help – it always drove us forward in our mission somehow. Word-ofmouth has significant power to create visibility beyond that which any pamphlet, website, or advertisement can provide. So, as you thumb through our pages, wondering what any of this content has to do with you, dear busy and exhausted reader, think of the power in your word-of-mouth recommendation. You never know who you may reach in sharing what you know about an organization. That person could make all the difference for that nonprofit and those who benefit from their services. Whether you decide to give your time, your voice, or donation of some other kind, it all serves to reinforce these organizations’ efforts in their own way. Learn and share what you can because you never know when it’ll be our turn to rely on what these nonprofits can give. They support our community, so by finding a vehicle that allows us to give back, we’re also supporting the community we live in.

n his book “The American Crisis” Thomas Paine famously wrote, “these are the times that try men’s souls.” He was speaking about the Revolutionary War and the need for all Americans to find the strength to endure the long and difficult road to freedom and independence. He spoke of “summer soldiers” who were happy to devote themselves to the cause of American independence when the war was going in their favor, but who lost their zeal when it didn’t. Paine’s writing has held up as a message to the people that true courage and strength comes from holding onto one’s beliefs when times are at their toughest. It almost goes without saying that 2020 was a year that tried the soul of our country. March marks the one-year anniversary of the nationwide rollout of COVID-19 lockdowns. Over half a million Americans have died in that time. Tens of thousands of small businesses across the country have been forced to close their doors forever. Millions of Americans are out of work, many of whom are facing food and housing insecurity for the first time in their lives. Then there were the summer protests against police brutality. A modern revolution in its own right. Mostly peaceful protestors clashed with police over the killing

of unarmed black men and women. Hate groups capitalized on the conflict to push their divisive agenda, and in turn incite violence and destruction. Fires burned into the night, blood flowed in the streets, and many were left wondering if any of this would truly change things for the better. And the year drew to an end with a historic presidential election. Joe Biden was elected president by the largest number of votes any presidential candidate has ever received, in an election that many viewed as a referendum on where we stood as a country. What our values were. What our vision for the future was as a nation. The shameful events of January 6th, the attempted coup by violent insurrectionists, incited by the previous administration, cast a black mark on our nation. However, despite the failed effort to destroy it, our democracy remains intact. The long, difficult road to rebuilding our country has begun and with the national rollout of COVID vaccines, a light at the end of the tunnel is finally coming into view. Now, perhaps more than any time in modern history, Americans are in need. Everyone has been affected in some way by the pandemic. Some have lost jobs, some have lost their homes, and some have lost

family members and loved ones. The strain that has been put on charitable organizations and non-profit service groups is unprecedented. More than ever, the importance of volunteering and charitable giving needs to be recognized. Our nation has never been stronger, our future has never been brighter, than when we all come together for the common good. Together, we can lift ourselves up and carry on through the long road ahead. One nation, indivisible, we can and will get through this. All of us can do our part to shine a ray of hope into the lives of our friends, families, and neighbors who need it. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, is like a pebble tossed into a pond. The ripples radiate out from it and grow into waves of change. Let us all commit to making 2021 the year that proves there is nothing that we cannot accomplish if we work together. Please consider donating or volunteering with one of the groups listed below. Or any of the other amazing organizations in the valley that are saving lives and giving hope to the hopeless every single day. Be that pebble that creates a wave of change.

CASA Fresno/Madera 2300 Tulare St. #210, Fresno (559) 244-6485 www.casafresnomadera.com Since their humble beginnings in 1996 with only one full-time staff member and a handful of volunteers, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) began serving the foster youth of Fresno County with the goal of being a voice for the community’s most at-risk children. In 2006, CASA expanded to serve the children of Madera County as well. All of the services provided by CASA, from legal to counseling and mental health, are made possible through the hard work and tireless dedication of men and women who volunteer their time and resources. Attorneys, therapists, advocates, social workers, teachers, and anyone else with the desire and ability, help provide these often overlooked children with hope for a better future and the comfort of knowing someone is looking out for them.

The Real Low-Down on United Way (Fresno and Madera Counties) By Haley White | hwhite@uwfm.org

nited Way is an international brand name, though I’m guessing many people only have a vague sense of what the organization itself actually does. I was once like that. Before I started working for the local chapter of United Way, I only knew the non-profit as an entity that…helps people? Somehow? I wasn’t sure who got help or what the help was, and, even as I applied for an open marketing consultant position at United Way Fresno and Madera Counties last year, I found myself wondering if the whole thing was just some sort of cover for a more nefarious secret operation. Drugs? The mob? Or, perhaps most likely, one of those non-profits where the CEO gets a ridiculous wage while underpaying their staff and not really doing anything to assist the community they claim to support? Boy, was I wrong. Now that I’ve been working for United Way Fresno and Madera Counties for over a year, I realize it’s hard to pin down what United Way does, simply because they do so much. And with over 1,800 independent chapters across the world, spanning 40 countries and territories and six continents, the problems addressed by each of those individual organizations varies quite significantly, depending on the high-priority needs of residents in any given location. The overall United Way mission is to “fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community”. That goal is the same regardless of what any single United Way chapter may be dealing with on a local or regional level, but there are three primary ways various chapters do this work. One way is by serving as a central resource hub. By partnering with trusted community organizations and promoting programs like the round-theclock 211 helpline (available in multiple languages), United Way can connect people to the help they need, all at once. (Food drives? Utilities assistance? Child development tips? Call 211 and be directed to resources for

| MARCH 2021

| FRESNO FLYER |

all of those things in one fell swoop.) Another way is by creating their own internal programs to assist community members in ways that relate to their mission’s education, health, and financial stability goals (this is how the very successful Free Tax Prep program was developed). The third method is the one employed by our local United Way. It involves doing both external partnerships and internal programming to create wraparound support for families and individuals who struggle to get by. How did these three different operational styles come to be? Basically, United Way was first established in 1887 when a woman, a priest, two ministers, and a rabbi got together in Denver, CO (sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it’s true!), to collect funds for local charities, coordinate relief services, and refer citizens to vetted agencies. From here, similar chapters developed. Eventually, some of the United Way chapters decided to add their own programming into the mix. From there, many United Ways decided internal programming was more viable for their organization, while others (with less resources) went back to serving only as a connection hub. Still others, like our very own United Way Fresno and Madera Counties, understood the growing needs of their local population could only be served by employing both tactics simultaneously. While we have different priorities throughout the year and are continuously altering what is on our front burner depending on whatever recent disaster has taken place, there are several programs we are particularly proud of right now. They include: • Being part of the Creek Fire Recovery Collaborative, a collective of over 40 state and community agencies dedicated to addressing the needs of survivors impacted by the Creek Fire. For our own part, we’ve established the Creek Fire Community Relief Fund and are working directly with 46 families who need long-term support.

• Promoting and supporting the work of our partners at Listos California, a program from the Governor’s office that is meant to provide valuable emergency preparedness information to California’s most vulnerable communities. Since the start of 2019, we have been helping Listos California get word out about preparing for natural disasters like fires, earthquakes, and floods, and have joined them in providing pandemic-related tips and PPE for underserved demographics like seniors, agricultural workers, Communities of Color, rural populations, and more. • Offering Free Tax Preparation services from IRS-certified volunteers to low-income families. In addition to helping families save on their tax returns, our volunteers also check if tax payers qualify for cashback credits like EITC and CalEITC and, due in part to United Way’s recent advocacy, some of these credits are available to ITIN filers as well. • Providing direct cash aid to 1000 families with our Coranavirus Relief Fund, allocating $140,000 to local food banks and college pantries to assist them with the increased food insecurity demands, and distributing PPE to 17 different agencies. • Developing a “Prosperity Coaching” model to help BIPOC residents with individualized, long-term assistance to address issues with our nation’s systemic wealth gap and allow them to achieve financial stability longterm. After seeing the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, both in the Central Valley and the rest of the country, as well as watching the push for social and economic justice rise to the forefront of the American consciousness since the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and too many others like them, we are doubling down on our commitment to help improve the radical wealth, health, and educational disparities that have been negatively impacting our Communities of Color for far too long.

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

• Operating a 24/7 helpline, available in 130 different languages, where people can call and be connected to resources and programs in their area that can help address immediate needs like food, shelter, clothing, and utilities, or provide more nuanced assistance like child development skills, job preparation, translation services, and more. People can call 211 (or 1-866-559-4211, tollfree) to get assistance. These are just a handful of the things we offer local residents through United Way Fresno and Madera Counties, and our work often includes partnering with other community groups (such as Poverello House, The Boys & Girls Club, Central Valley Community Foundation, Marjaree Mason Center, and others) as well as other corporate sponsors (like AT&T, Wells Fargo, and UPS). We believe that working together, we can create lasting positive change in our neighborhoods, as well as the world at large. That’s why our motto is Live United. We welcome volunteers and donors to join our family and be a part of the work we do. Every penny we earn stays in Fresno and Madera Counties and directly contributes to our goal to provide solidarity, not charity, to local residents. Potential volunteers can reach out to to Emily at uwfmvolunteer@gmail.com in order to learn about the various ways they can help. We also offer Workplace Giving, an easy and efficient way to have donations directed to us (or your other favorite legally recognized non-profit) by simply having the donation deducted from your paycheck. This method of community care helps ensure the needs of our most marginalized residents are met when, unfortunately, our government is not set up to meet those needs alone. If you are interested in potentially bringing Workplace Giving to your office or company, please email Coreen, our VP of Resource and Development at ccampos@uwfm.org. If you would simply like to follow along and keep updated on what we’re doing, we can be found on Facebook and Twtiter at @uwfmc or Instagram at @uw_fmc.

Answers to last issue’s puzzles

Fun Facts St. Patrick’s Day

1. Saint Patrick himself would have to deal with pinching on his feast day. Though we’ve come to associate kelly green with the Irish and the holiday, the 5th-century saint’s official color was “Saint Patrick’s blue,” a light shade of sky blue. The color green only became associated with the big day after it was linked to the Irish independence movement in the late 18th century. 2. Although he made his mark by introducing Christianity to Ireland in the year 432, Patrick wasn’t Irish himself. He was born to Roman parents in Scotland or Wales in the late 4th century.

3. As you might expect, St. Patrick’s Day is a huge deal in his old stomping grounds. It’s a national holiday in both Ireland and Northern Ireland, but up until the 1970s, pubs were closed on that day. (The one exception went to beer vendors at the big national dog show, which was always held on St. Patrick’s Day.) Before that time, the saint’s feast day was considered a more solemn, strictly religious occasion. Now, the country welcomes hordes

of green-clad tourists for parades, drinks, and perhaps the reciting of a few limericks.

4. New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of the world’s largest parades. Since 1762, roughly 250,000 marchers have traipsed up 5th Avenue on foot—the parade still doesn’t allow floats, cars, or other modern trappings. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York; and Miracle on 34th Street actress Maureen O’Hara have served as Grand Marshal. 5. New York may have more manpower, but Chicago has a spectacle all its own. The city has been celebrating St. Patrick by dumping green dye into the Chicago River since 1962. And though the organizers won’t reveal their exact formula, we do know that the orange powder used is dispersed through flour sifters by the local Plumbers Union. 6. Not every city goes all-out in its celebratory efforts. From 1999 to 2007, the Irish village of Dripsey proudly touted that it hosted the Shortest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in the World. The route ran | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

for 26 yards between two pubs. Today, Hot Springs, Arkansas, claims the title for brevity—a mere 98 feet.

7. How did the shamrock become associated with St. Patrick? According to Irish legend, the saint used the three-leafed plant (which is not to be confused with the fourleaf clover) as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity when he was first introducing Christianity to Ireland. 8. In Irish lore, St. Patrick gets credit for driving all the snakes out of Ireland. Modern scientists suggest that the job might not have been too hard—according to the fossil record, Ireland has never been home to any snakes. Through the Ice Age, Ireland was too cold to host any reptiles, and the surrounding seas have staved off serpentine invaders ever since. Modern scholars think the “snakes” St. Patrick drove away were likely metaphorical. | FEATURED | DINING | CALENDAR | MUSIC | CLASSIFIEDS |

OPINION

WE’RE WORN OUT By Nadine Pourier Blumenshine npbwellnesscoach@gmail.com

e’ve been doing this for almost a year now. In the beginning, it was a shocking, sudden change to have to isolate and stay home. There was also the eeriness of the empty streets and the surge of collective support and admiration for health care workers. We panicked about having enough of everyday items. All of it had a sense of novelty and unconventionality that had some excitement to it; don’t you agree? Those days and weeks seemed so much lighter by comparison to what we’re facing now. Little did we know that we would be in a more-than-year-long pandemic affecting our health (physical, emotional, and mental), economy, and relationships. I think it’s fair to say we’re worn out and in a pandemic burnout. Let’s sort out some of the pieces to the burnout, and maybe that will help alleviate its weight. First, the ‘end’ is drawing nearer. We just don’t know precisely when that will be. Late in 2020, we had some expectation that spring would bring an end. Obviously, that isn’t going to happen. We know now that we’re on the verge of vaccinations for the millions of people who want them. And as we watch the illness rate and transmission risk reduce, it makes waiting for the ‘end’ all that much harder simply because it is nearer. Have you ever driven a few hours to visit someone or attend an event, and those that last few miles seem endless? That’s what this stage is like. Almost there, but not quite. I suggest you keep looking forward and hold onto your optimism as best as you can. Talk with family and friends about what you’d like to do when virus transmission risk is lower. You could begin to make

PART IX

o, we are now over 515,000 dead here in America because of Covid. After about a year of living under the pandemic, we have had over 28.5 million fellow Americans test positive for the SARS-CoV-2 infection - about 9% of our population. The only burning question is, why in the hell do we have so many cases and so many (unnecessary) deaths? When we compare ourselves globally, we are literally leading the world in Covid deaths by an incredibly huge margin. The next worst nations are India and Brazil - and they both have only around 11 million Covid cases, with Brazil having 255,000 total deaths and India 157,000. However, at the other end of the spectrum is Australia, a developed nation with a population of 25.5 million that has had only 29,000 cases - and less than a thousand Covid-related deaths nationwide. Wow! In light of our horrible progress here in the States, these Covid figures are incredible. We are about 13 times bigger than Australia in terms of population, but we have more than 515 times the number of Covid deaths. Seriously, so how is Australia doing so much better? Maybe it has something to do with their ‘drastic’ coordinated and concerted efforts to fight Covid’s rapid spread. For example, in Sydney, Australia’s largest city, wearing your mask in public became an enforceable law, punishable by a $154 fine. Could you imagine that happening here in the U.S.? (Yeah, right.) The Australian Medical Association even applauded the decision. “This is a crucial decision,” they said, “particularly as more people will be returning to work...and trains and buses become increasingly crowded.” Gladys Berejiklian, Premier of the state of New South Wales, explained quite simply, “This is an example where the New South Wales government strategy is to keep jobs, to keep community morale and wellbeing while making sure we are Covid-safe…” Is that too much to ask from a government? Why can’t our leadership make sure we are ‘Covid-safe’ like other sane governments?

Here in Fresno, a county of about a million residents, we have had a total of 95,548 confirmed positive Covid cases - an 8% increase from the 88,852 total from this time last month. Unfortunately, we have also seen a horrible 24% increase in Covid-related deaths from 1,173 to 1,451 - in just one month. The fact of the matter is that, to date, at least 10% of Fresno has been infected by the coronavirus. Of those infected here, the mortality rate has been about 1.5%, a little bit lower than the national average of 1.8% across the country. Clearly, these statistics tell a consistent story that doesn’t lie: For every 100 Covid-19 diagnoses, on average, 1-2 of these Americans will ultimately die because of it. Covid was the leading cause of death in the U.S. last month, with an average of 2,400 deaths per day. It’s even higher than the typical leading causes of American death, namely Heart Disease and Cancer, which usually kill 2,000 - 1,600 per day on average, respectively. The threat is more real than ever today. Which is why it’s a downright shame to think of the kind of disservice our government officials and leaders have provided us during this time of critical action. Instead of taking control through zero-tolerance mandates and enforcing social distancing protocols, necessary temporary lockdowns, and mandatory public mask-wearing during this deadly pandemic, our leaders have acquiesced to negative public opinion. They have given into conspiracy theories that deny and mock the seriousness or the very existence of Covid and the proven effectiveness of life-saving, nonpharmaceutical prevention measures like mask-wearing. Putting politics before lives. Wearing a mask for your health and the health of your community has become a glaring political statement. But it shouldn’t be. And it should have never come to this. Mask-wearing effectiveness is based on tested science and facts and not based on politics or pseudoscience. Un-

fortunately, the pandemic emerged in a critically dangerous time of extreme social distrust and dubiety, where conspiracy theories and rampant allegations of ‘fake news’ pollute the thruways of legitimate breaking news outlets and reliable public information circuits. In this type of toxic social environment, truth and fact are easily choked out. In this context, it’s not surprising that masks have become a contentious ‘hot topic’ after all. Their importance was easily and immediately clouded by political propaganda used to discredit rivals. Instantly, the effectiveness of facemasks was met with chants of ‘Fake News,’ ‘Alternative Facts,’ ‘Mind-Control,’ ‘Free the Face,’ ‘The CDC is Lying’ by angry, unmasked protestors, deniers, and self-proclaimed ‘patriots.’ Unfortunately for us, the dire need for face masks was born in this dense fog of social uncertainty about what is true or false in the news. Sadly, this critical and absolute need for masks emerged during a politically deceptive era of misinformation that has proven deadly. It’s the worst time for a pandemic. Because it is the disenfranchised - the misinformed and deceived - who will ultimately pay the price for our social ignorance and false information. Clearly, our Covid morbidity and mortality statistics compared to the rest of the world speak loudly for themselves and reflect this steep social price for our American ‘freedom’ to not wear a mask. It’s tragic. But it doesn’t have to continue to be. Hope is on the horizon. Vaccinations are being mass administered. We are slowly turning the tide against Covid - so long as we don’t put our guard down until the fight is over and done with. Stay strong and fight the good fight, friends - wear that mask!

How to Help the Millions of Americans Facing Hunger (StatePoint) Millions of people nationwide face hunger. And the COVID-19 pandemic has thrust even more Americans into this vulnerable position. Before the COVID-19 crisis began, one in nine people, including 10 million children, already lived in a food insecure household. Communities of color are disproportionately affected by both poverty and hunger. For example, one in four Native American and Alaska Natives experience food insecurity. One in five Blacks and one in six Latinos experience food insecurity. As a result of the pandemic, unemployment has soared and the need for food assistance has increased. More families are accessing food banks than ever before, and many of them for the very first time, which is why it’s really important for everyone to come together to help fight hunger,” says Casey Marsh, chief development officer for Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Fortunately, efforts are being made to meet the sharp rise in food insecurity. As part of its “Many Hearts, One Community.” campaign, Wells Fargo fulfilled its commitment to help provide 82 million meals to families in need through the Feeding America network of 200 food banks during the holidays. This was a continuation of a decade-long relationship with the Feeding

America network which, since the start of the pandemic, has included efforts such as turning Wells Fargo corporate properties and branch locations into mobile food distribution centers. Additionally, the company made grants over the holiday season to food banks operating in Wells Fargo’s global footprint. “It was life-changing,” says Andrea Thomas, a single mother who received food assistance in Mesa, Ariz. “I didn’t have to figure out if I was going to pay for groceries or pay for rent to keep my household afloat.” So how can you get involved? There are 200 Feeding America member food banks across the country, many of which need volunteers to help pack food boxes, distribute food at drive-through pantries and more. Feeding America food banks have adjusted their practices to ensure social distancing to keep everyone safe. Contact your local food bank to see how you can help families in need. You can also join the fight to end hunger by making a donation. For more information, visit feedingamerica. org. While the issue of hunger is pervasive and persistent, philanthropy, volunteerism and innovative efforts like drive-up food banks can help meet the needs of families across America.

Oranges are good sources of folate, which is particularly important to consume during pregnancy because of its role in cell growth, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Oranges are a versatile fruit, making them an easy addition to both sweet and savory dishes as well as beverages. Try incorporating oranges into your weekly meal plan with dishes like a lighter version of orange chicken or drinks like this Orange Moscow Mule Mocktail. To help maximize the flavor profile and nutritional benefits of California oranges, consider these tips:

5 Health Benefits of Oranges Beyond Vitamin C (Family Features) Healthful eating starts with the ingredients you use, so it’s important to use fresh, seasonal ingredients that pack a nutritional punch. One of the easiest ways to meet your daily nutrient needs is to eat a variety of whole foods like fruit (which about 80% of the U.S. population doesn’t get enough of, according to the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans), because they provide a unique mix of beneficial nutrients that can’t always be found in a supplement. Consider an option like delicious California Navel and Cara Cara oranges, which are in season and available nationwide, offering a wide variety of health benefits. Oranges are best known as an excellent source of vitamin C to support a healthy immune system, because one orange can offer 70100% of the recommended daily value

of vitamin C depending the varietal. However, oranges also offer other important nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, including: •

•

Phytonutrients (beneficial compounds produced by plant foods) like flavonoids, which can help mitigate cell damage and support brain and heart health. Citrus is the only type of fruit packed with hesperidin and naringin, two flavonoids that offer antiinflammatory properties.

•

Potassium, which the body can’t produce on its own, supports cell function, healthy blood pressure levels, bone health and hydration.

•

California Navel and Cara Cara oranges are good sources of fiber, which supports gut health. | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

•

Numerous parts of citrus can be consumed, including the flesh, juice, zest and peel, meaning a single piece of fruit can go a long way.

•

Next time you use citrus in a beverage or as part of a meal, bring it to room temperature before cooking to help ensure you get the most juice.

•

Because vitamin C is water soluble, it’s important to eat it fresh. When using as part of a recipe, use as little water as possible and avoid overcooking.

•

For storage, it’s often best to keep oranges refrigerated to help them last longer and ensure freshness.

...‘Worn Out’ cont’d from pg 6 some plans with them for a few months out from now. (keeping in mind that you may have to reschedule, of course) Think about all of the people you’ll be able to hug endlessly. We’re also in winter. The dark and cold can affect us even when we’re not in a pandemic. We go to and from work when the sun is barely up. The cold temperatures keep us hunkered down inside our houses more. Our energy naturally reduces. We get outside of the house less often, which means fewer opportunities for a change of scenery. The sky is grayer and cloudier, making it feel heavier on top of us. All of that adds up to make it more challenging to see easier days. Fortunately, spring is feeling much closer, and that will hopefully lift some of our burnout. Remind yourself, frequently, how the winter season might be affecting you differently this year. Use that reminder to help you realize that brighter days are coming soon, and hang onto the thought that this winter pandemic season will pass. Third, our lives have become filled with virtual contact, personally and professionally. Our devices have become a way to connect, be entertained, be informed, work, learn, and fill time. It takes less energy to turn to our devices and let them ‘give’ us something than it does to actively engage with another person. But have you noticed how your mood and energy spike after you’ve spent time with someone purposefully? You can fill some of your need for personal interaction by playing a game with a family member, or by talking and snuggling with your partner, or take a safely distanced walk with a friend, or curl up with your pet while you read. When you can make those personal connections, your body has chemical reactions that can boost your spirits. Set up times during the day when a device isn’t near, so your focus is on the people who are physically close to you and present. Our pandemic fatigue is very real. Be gentle and patient with yourself, and remember that this is temporary. The time of ‘normalcy’ is moving closer and closer every day. --Nadine is a Wellness Mindset Coach who helps women struggling to give themselves permission to prioritize living the healthy lifestyle they dream of.

The Poverello House 412 F Street, Fresno (559) 498-6988 www.poverellohouse.org Facebook: poverellohousefresno The Poverello House began over 30 years ago with one man and a truck full of peanut butter sandwiches. Mike McGarvin was looking for a way to repay God for saving him from a life of drugs, violence, and hopelessness. He was inspired by a San Francisco coffee house called simply “Poverello” that served the homeless in the city, and where he had volunteered. It was through this life-changing experience that “Papa Mike” found purpose in helping others. Years later, after moving to Fresno with his wife, and with those sandwiches, a handshake, and a kind word, his work began. Soon after, Papa Mike obtained the storefront that would become the first Poverello House, named in honor of the coffee shop where Mike had found his calling. The menu expanded to include chili beans and hot coffee and so did the lines of hungry people. Fire, evictions, and financial insecurity would force the Poverello House to move from one location to another until finally landing at the F Street address they have called home since the 1990’s. From those humble beginnings, the Poverello House has grown into one of the largest homeless services non-profits in the Central Valley. From serving peanut butter sandwiches and bowls of chili to a few dozen people a day to providing 3 meals a day for over 600 individuals and families, including special holiday meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Their services have expanded far beyond providing hot meals too. Clothing, blankets, tents, backpacks, shoes, clean socks, laundry services and hot showers are some of the many services the Poverello House provides for homeless and low-income individuals and families. Additionally, the Poverello House also provides

off-site meals for partner agencies including The Marjaree Mason Center, Spirit of Women, EOC Youth Sanctuary, Trinity Lutheran Church and the Patti Project. Social services offered by the Poverello include Naomi’s House, a temporary shelter for homeless women, many of whom find themselves on the streets fleeing domestic violence. There is also the Men’s Residential Rehabilitation Program which provides counseling and services for men struggling with substance abuse and addiction. The Poverello House runs in large part thanks to hard-working and dedicated volunteers, many of whom have been giving their time for years. Whether prepping meals in the kitchen, serving clients for a “Papa Mike’s Cafe”, or wrapping the hundreds of gifts that are donated every year for the Christmas toy giveaway, volunteers are the lifeblood of the Poverello House. Papa Mike passed away in 2017, but the Poverello House organization continues to carry on his legacy of purpose through service and believing in the dignity of every individual. The Poverello House is always in need of both volunteers and donations. If you would like more information, to RSVP for a volunteer orientation session, or to make a donation, visit their website or call. Valley Animal Haven 990 E. D Street, Lemoore (559) 997-3601 valleyanimalhaven@gmail.com Valley Animal Haven was founded in 2014 by Pamela Brasil to serve the homeless and helpless animals across the Central Valley. Her dream was to open a haven for all animals, big or small, young or old, until a forever home could be found for them. From its small, backyard beginnings, Valley Animal Haven has expanded to a 2.5 acre parcel, thanks in large part to the generosity of the caring community. They now house dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and more. There is also an infirmary on site to provide essential medical services for the animals. Valley Animal Haven is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue facility and shelter. They provide care and rehoming services for abused, neglected, abandoned, homeless or surrendered animals. It is their mission to find a forever home for every one of their animal companions. Valley Animal Haven is always looking for volunteers to assist their team of coordinators and technicians with a variety of tasks and services, ranging from walking,

grooming and serving as a community ambassador, to cleaning, laundry services and more. There is always work to be done for these furry friends. For more information, visit the Valley Animal Haven website, call or email. We Are Not Invisible Fresno (559) 412-6800 www.wanif.org Facebook: HIF559 We Are Not Invisible Fresno is a non-profit homeless housing and resource assistance organization started in 2015 by Desiree “Dez” Martinez, who was homeless herself at the time. She was motivated to do something by the absence of “real help” available to those in her situation. Discouraged by the lack of resources, long-term transitional housing, and outreach available to the Fresno homeless population, Dez took it upon herself to create We Are Not Invisible in an effort to bring attention to the plight of the homeless community and bring their voices into the conversation about how to address the homeless crisis in Fresno. Most recently, Dez was successful in securing an empty lot in downtown Fresno for a homeless camp. Called “Project Safe Camp” it provides a safe, secure place for homeless individuals and even some families to set up a tent without worrying about crime, violence, harassment, or being constantly forced to relocate by the city. It has been one of the few truly safe havens for the homeless in the otherwise violent, drug and crime-ridden downtown area. Currently, Dez has been focused on the “Project Offramp” project, which is intended to address the problem of homeless camps along the 99 Freeway by relocating them to motels that have been converted to temporary housing facilities. It is a project that Dez believes is a step in the right direction, but there is still much work to be done. Dez has been operating the WANIF organization and running the safe camp project almost single-handedly since it began. She is always looking for hard-working, dedicated people to volunteer their time to help run the daily operations at the camp, or assist with her outreach efforts in the city. They are also always in need of donations ranging from blankets and tarps to bottled water and food. Anyone interested in volunteering or making a donation can contact WANIF through their Facebook page, Homeless in Fresno, by phone, or emailing at wearenotinvisible2015@gmail.com

Energy Reading for March 2021 By Natalie Nigg | info@natalienigg.com

eading tarot cards is much like reading our horoscope. People all over the world have been using tarot cards for centuries to gain insight into their lives as they embark on new journeys or when they feel stuck. Much like horoscopes give insight into the energies for each sign in the zodiac, tarot readings can dive into a variety of areas of our lives to offer perspective, clarity, and guidance. This reading focuses on our work, home, and relationships for the month ahead. Work: 5 of Wands Sometimes a little competition is a good thing. Whether with yourself, a coworker, or even a competitor in business, the 5 of Wands brings challenges--challenges to do more, to push past what you know and go further. There is a great deal of ambition in this card. If you’re waiting for a sign to start that side hustle or go for that promotion, this is it. It may not unfold exactly as you hope, but the act of working toward your goal is where the lesson of the 5 of Wands lies. Home: Eight of Swords This card speaks to the limitations we create for ourselves through accepting our experiences in life. If we feel stuck in our current space and we accept that as our reality, then we will continue to feel stuck. On the other hand, if we feel safe, grounded, and accept that our environment is where we are allowed to explore and grow, then that will become our reality.

We are only limited by our perspective. The 8 of Swords invites you to pay close attention to your thoughts this month. Are they creating a reality in which you feel stuck or free? Relationships: Ace of Swords Aces represent new beginnings and new ideas. In the world of relationships, this card invites you to challenge old thought patterns that keep you closed off or unavailable. Like the spiral on the card, our thoughts move and evolve as we do, allowing new opportunities for clarity, insight, and growth. This card asks you to bring these new ideas to your relationships in order to strengthen your connection to others. This card also asks that you speak with clear intention, especially with yourself. How we speak to and about ourselves defines what kind of relationship we have with ourselves. Now is not the time to shy away from positive self-talk. Afterall, our longest relationships are with ourselves. Pay attention to your thoughts and when you find your selftalk is more negative than positive, correct it. Remind yourself why you’re amazing… because you are. Natalie Nigg is an experienced intuitive tarot card reader. She uses tarot as a guide for herself and others on their spiritual journey, as a means to understand where we are and how to move through each moment with ease and grace.
