ROOTED BEYOND: INLAND EMPIRE

The Held & Rooted Expansion Campaign

$3,000 Goal

Orange County showed us what happens when mothers have the infrastructure to find one another, gather, share resources, and build real community.

Now, we’re ready to take the next step.

Over and over, we have heard from mothers in the Inland Empire asking when Held & Rooted is coming their way.

Our answer is: we’re starting now.

Throughout November and December, Held & Rooted will begin laying the groundwork for our expansion into the Inland Empire.

But for us, expansion means more than simply making our app available in another county.

Before we launch, we want to listen.

We want to meet the mothers already doing life there. We want to identify trusted community leaders and organizations. We want to understand the resources families are already using, where the gaps exist, and what community needs to look like locally.

Our goal is to raise $3,000 to begin that work.

Your support will help Held & Rooted:

Build relationships with Inland Empire mothers, leaders, businesses, and community organizations
Host initial gatherings and listening opportunities for local families
Identify and onboard trusted local resources
Recruit mothers who can help shape and lead the community locally
Support the technology, outreach, and operational work required to prepare the Inland Empire for launch

We don't want to arrive in the Inland Empire and tell mothers what their community should look like.

We want to build it with them.

Orange County was where Held & Rooted took root.

The Inland Empire is next.

Help us raise $3,000 to get there.
