BEAUTIFUL DAY

HELP US SPREAD LOVE IN BONNY DOON !

>> WHAT IS IT?? <<

Bonny Doon Church organizes an annual work day that serves several families in Bonny Doon who lost their homes in the CZU Lightening Complex fires. The recipients are under-insured, widows, single parents, battling health challenges or have additional factors in addition to the total loss of their homes.

We are immensely grateful to Westgate Church of Beautiful Day, Vintage Faith, Twin Lakes and Santa Cruz Convergence for their help recruiting volunteers for these epic workday.

Check out some before and afters of our previous events below!

>> WAYS TO HELP <<

>> VOLUNTEER <<

Volunteers will check-in and sign waivers at Bonny Doon Church from 8-8:30am giving volunteers time to grab a light breakfast provided by the church and drive to the worksite by 9am. People will receive a map to the site location where they will be volunteering.

Volunteer opportunities include assisting at check in, building garden beds or picnic tables, painting, yard work such as trimming branches or raking as well as heavier yard work if you have skills with chainsaws or tractors. Skilled tradesmen from engineering, construction, electrical and more are needed!

>> DONATE MONEY <<

Funding to finance removing trees from properties and host this event has come from the funds Bonny Doon Church raises for fire survivors through their local craft fair and personal donations.

We need your support to continue helping fire survivors!. Please consider making a financial contribution to help our community recover.

>> NEED OR know someone in need? <<

If you are NOT one of the families receiving assistance on Beautiful Day but would need help, please fill out this form and one of our team of volunteers serving fire survivors will reach out to you.

Bonny Doon Church has been actively assisting CZU fire survivors from the point that we were allowed to repopulate after the fires. We worked with FEMA to bring Red Cross and other agencies to Bonny Doon coordinating with our local elementary school. We have been regularly attending the Santa Cruz Long Term Recovery meetings to share information with our neighbors.

>> WHEN IS IT? <<

Beautiful Day 2025 will be in Feb or March, stay tuned!
