Compassion at
Mission Bell
At Mission Bell we base our decisions on our core values of Stewardship, Relationship, and Contribution.
Our primary focus for donations is to help support people in direct need of the basics of life. As a consequence most of our charitable contributions go to people out of the country – and are both financial and “hands-on”. Here are a few of the people and organizations that Mission Bell supports: |

 La Casa Trips
For the last 12 years, Mission Bell and many of our employees have been building very small homes just outside of Tijuana, Mexico. We call these our LA CASA TRIPS. These homes are built for some of the poorest families we have ever seen. |

Heritage Home Kitchen Project
For example, City Team Ministries owns and manages a special home in San Jose for unmarried, pregnant women who elect to give birth. The home is a renovated Victorian era structure that now has a brand new kitchen. Mission Bell donated its services— designing, manufacturing and installing the cabinets and kitchen work areas to make it usable for meal preparation.

 Sacramento Children’s Home
For well over a century, the Sacramento Children's Home has provided thousands of children a safe place to call home. A non-profit agency, SCH works with abused and neglected children and with families to stop abuse early. Support from the community makes them strong.
Mission Bell recently teamed with DPR Construction to help build the new Pat Anderson Education Center at the Sacramento Children’s Home. The plastic laminate cabinets designed, crafted and installed by Mission Bell now serve the emotionally troubled and mentally ill children from kindergarten through high school. The new Pat Anderson Education Center has space for 72 students. The dual emphasis on academics and therapy helps students develop the skills necessary to be successful in their neighborhood schools.

PAWS
Mission Bell recently teamed with Anshen+Allen Architects and DPR Construction to compete in designing and building an “urban cat dwelling” for the recent Auction and Fundraiser for PAWS. PAWS is a charitable organization that reaches into the lives of low-income, HIV/AIDS and disabled clients by providing financial resources for food and veterinary care for pets; and by offering volunteer support, fostering and critical animal care when needed.
Not only did Mission Bell’s very own, John Scianna, team with some of our business partners, but he helped them steal the show! Our “Kitty in the City” entry won 1st place and brought in $7600 for PAWS.
John suggested ‘green’ materials, and natural staining techniques that give this cat habitat real appeal. The sophisticated bamboo exterior, angular forms and abstract cutouts enhance the contemporary, urban aesthetic while colorful felt interiors, ledges, and a central scratching post offer playful and functional features for the feline friend. What’s more, the modular design allows it to be adjusted and reconfigured into four different configurations. Pretty cool!
