HELPFUL TIPS!
This summer, cool down and save energy by closing the blinds! During the daytime, sunlight passing through windows heats your home, making your A/C work harder. Stay cool by keeping blinds or drapes closed on sunny days. Be sure to #KeepItGolden and support #SustainableRC today and all summer long!

Join us for our Virtual Courageous Conversations |
|
The Compassionate Community Subcommittee continues to host Virtual Courageous Conversations. The events these past several weeks have disrupted our lives and challenged us in many ways, once again putting the spotlight on issues of racial equity and social justice. This subcommittee will continue to work together to ensure that we can provide the #RCcommUNITY a safe space for all voices to be acknowledged and heard.
Through these community conversations, attendees are able to share in a judgement-free environment their lived experiences and perspectives on topics of race, racism and social justice. Through these dialogues, we hope to develop specific action plans tailored for our communities as we remain committed in dismantling any forms of racism and racial inequities in Rancho Cucamonga. The Compassionate Community Subcommittee meets regularly* every 3rd Tuesday of the month from 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. Join us as we learn together and try to find a common ground in addressing these important issues, and identify practical and feasible solutions that foster healing and unity in our City.
If you are interested in joining us or for any inquiries, you may email HealthyRC@CityofRC.us or call (909) 774-2043.
*Days and times subject to change.

We are here for you at our Monthly RC Community Check-ins |
As a response to the need of more consistent mental health support groups in Rancho Cucamonga, Healthy RC partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Pomona Valley to provide virtual community conversations called Community Check-ins. We encourage people to just grab a cup of tea and get comfortable at home, while logging on the Community Check-in safe space to share what’s on your mind.
Check-ins are scheduled on the first Monday of every month from 6:00 p.m-7:30 p.m. The purpose of this group is to share, listen, collaborate and learn from your fellow community members. NAMI Executive Director James Curtis facilitates and guides the conversation so that people can find the right tools, resources, and strategies to practice self-care and wellness. For more information, simply click on the flyer above!
For any inquiries regarding Healthy RC's Mental Health Subcommittee and its initiatives, email HealthyRC@CityofRC.us or call (909) 774-2044.
