Community is Everything
to Everybody
The Charities close to our hearts.
Community is a huge part of the heart of what we do. Over the years, Michael has served within his own community through homeless shelters, notably being through the Redwood Gospel Mission and Community on the Shelterless (C.O.T.S.). He has served as a Sunday School/Kids Ministry Teacher and a high school counselor.
During the 2017 Sonoma Wildfires Michael put the work flow on pause, trusting his team and helped run security at his local church for wildfire evacuees. He has traveled to Ireland and as far as Kenya, Africa to help with mission work and serve in those communities as well.
