Sister Julie's Special Wish List
If you or someone you know can help with these specific needs, please contact sj@starcross.org!
- Funds for a Personal Care Aide for Brother Toby - Brother Toby is 93 years old. While his mind is still sharp and he is able to walk around, we are in need of a live-in caretaker to help with his needs.
- Funds for Well Development - Our water is depleting! Lance, our exceptional Land Manager, has to transfer water extremely often due to issues with the pumps. For the future of Starcross, we need to rectify the depletion.
- More "Olive Ticklers" - Our harvest season runs on "ticklers!" These silly-looking devices make Sister Julie's Olive OIl possible. If interested in helping us with these, please contact sj@starcross.org.
- Camp Supplies Reimbursement - In August, we hosted a group of teenagers from Oakland for a countryside farm experience, and it was a great success! However, it did require purchasing materials such as food for all the campers and arts and crafts supplies (t-shirts, paints, and thread). If you're willing to cover the costs of any of these supplies, please contact Sister Julie!
- Gravel for ruts in our driveway.
With your contribution we can continue to:
- Connect with our community that extends well beyond our home in Sonoma County, CA, in our sharing of inspirational messages through books, multi-faith Reflections, weekly Haiku, and virtual photographic “Walks” around Starcross, keeping spirits up amidst the challenges of political polarization, economic hardship, and racial injustice.
- Respond whenever called upon to local and international emergencies, such as we did a few years ago, providing long-term free housing and sanctuary to refugee families, utilizing our experience with children impacted by HIV/AIDS in the United States, Romania, and Uganda.
- Run a twice-monthly food pantry offering fresh produce, clothing, books, and supplies to an increasing number of neighbors in need.
- Welcome people from many states and abroad to experience working on an organic farm as they blend their spiritual paths with care for the earth.
- And more.... !
