In these hard times children and music bring us hope for a better future. Today we celebrate life and change the world one heart and one song at a time!!

We thank them for their generous support of the Playing For Change Movement!

Mission Solano and a Special Bridge To Life Christmas

Mission SOLANO is in the middle of its busiest season—a season where hope shines brightest despite dark times. The gifts and encouragement of our community bring hope to the hopeless in the form of a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, and the eternal hope in the mercy, compassion, and love of Jesus Christ. Yes, Christmas is that hope—a hope that never fails.

Perkins ends record-breaking quest, to honor school shooting victims

Daily Republic article by  By Heather Ah San

FAIRFIELD — Jason Perkins’ world-record attempt ended on a somber note Friday after 80 hours of ringing a bell for the Salvation Army.

Three volunteers were still competing for the world record Friday when they heard of the mass shooting in Newton, Conn.

After hearing the news, Perkins reached out to fellow competitors Darrell Tureskis of Springfield, Ill., and Ryan Gass of Roswell, N.M., to propose they end in unity for the victims of the shooting.
“It wouldn’t be fair for us to go on. It would not be fair to the lives lost,” he said.
So instead of ringing until there was one man left standing, Perkins, Tureskis and Gass decided to share the record at 80 hours at 6 p.m. California time.

Mission SOLANO-Day In The Life 2012

In 1998, recognizing that many people struggling with addiction needed more than "three hots and a cot", Mission SOLANO Rescue Mission focused its vision to develop long-term residential treatment for homeless addicted men, women and children. The Mission SOLANO Rescue Mission has successfully met the basic necessities of the homeless and poverty stricken population since 1998. Our unique and nationally recognized Nomadic Sheltering Program provides emergency shelter nights to those in need, while maintaining and managing our Community Outreach Center (COC) and Social Industries distributing food, clothing and ongoing community services.
