Rubicon Programs Celebrates 50 Years of “A Legacy of Inspiring Hope” in 2023
Rubicon Programs is celebrating 50 years as an East Bay institution.
Since 1973, we've provided vital resources for our neighbors as they worked to improve their lives, their futures, and their communities. What started as a small, community-based organization that provided mental health counseling in Richmond, CA has grown into a multi-county effort to end poverty in the East Bay through comprehensive programming in partnership with the neighbors we serve, other community-based organizations, local government agencies, and our generous donors.
As we celebrate A Legacy of Inspiring Hope during our 50th anniversary year, we invite you to join us in the following ways in 2023:
