TRUCKEE, Calif. — Soroptimist International of Truckee Donner granted $5,000 to Sierra Community House for needed equipment, educational materials, toys, and furniture to enhance the educational experience of families participating in its Family Room bilingual early learning program which is located inside Truckee Elementary School

The mission of SITD is to ensure that women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential.

The Family Room is a place where children can engage in play-based learning activities that are focused on school readiness and parents can develop peer networks. 70% of the participants are women and their children.
