Shelter in Place sponsors
Brick & Mortar
Blending an Old World approach with California roots, Brick & Mortar creates refined wines perfect for special-occasion dinners or savoring all on their own. They focus on chardonnay, pinot noir, syrah, and sparkling wine from unique hillside vineyards. Buy online here.
Delta Wines
Their mission is making distinctive everyday wines in an eco-responsible way. Fresh and approachable, they are perfect for casual dinners at home, which is why we keep several in our fridge. Plus for every $15 bottle you buy, Delta donates one dollar to fighting climate change. Buy online at winesforchange.com.

Making Waves is a woman-owned, mission-driven, and joy-filled studio based in Oakland, California, offering Zumba, dance, fitness, yoga, and meditation classes, both in-person and online. In addition to helping clients smile and sweat, they also donate to many local charities.

Sony’s mission is “to fill the world with emotion, through the power of creativity and technology, and to nurture innovation to enrich and improve people’s lives.” Their donation of MDR-7506 studio monitor headphones enables our trainees to learn audio editing with professional-grade equipment.
