Soroptimist International of Loomis Basin is one of many clubs in 120 countries throughout the world to make a difference in the lives of women and girls. We work in tandem with our Region, Federation and International Soroptimist organizations to invest in dreams to create opportunity through education. SI Loomis Basin was formed in 1974 and has continued to support our mission locally and internationally through the years. Our tradition of international service began in 1921 when a group of service minded women established Soroptimist International of Alameda County.

Our club consists of women of all ages, brought together by our passion to make our local and global communities a better place. We support the Soroptimist Dream programs and other education projects to fulfill our mission:

Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment, especially those facing significant obstacles.

Through our awards program, we provide single mothers with Live Your Dream awards to gain the education and training they need to better support their families. The Loomis Soroptimist Investing in Dreams education grant recognizes girls at Del Oro High School who are leaders in community service. The club provides Loomis Union School District teachers with grants for special projects and funds teachers at the Loomis Senior LIFE Center.

Putting on the “It’s in the Bag” designer purse event or calling numbers at our annual Fiesta Bingo fundraiser allows us to provide funding for many local organizations and causes. Members of the club help with planning, cooking, serving, selling tickets, publicizing, donating prizes, welcoming guests, tabulating scores, wrapping presents and much more. No matter what your talent or interests are, you’ll find the opportunity to have fun while volunteering with our club. Take a look at our Calendar to learn about upcoming events.

The club is involved in many community activities. We host Human Trafficking awareness seminars and sponsor trafficking awareness coffee sleeves with local cafes and restaurants. The club delivers the Soroptimist Dream It Be It career exploration program to young women in Confluence West High School in Loomis as well as gives gifts of encouragement to Stand Up Placer families and others over the holidays. You can see the Soroptimist Little Free Library at the Train Depot Park in downtown Loomis. To make a difference in our community, our club works closely with the Loomis Chamber of Commerce and other organizations to support the Senior LIFE Center, Loomis Christmas Basket, Placer Food Bank, Acres of Hope, Julie’s Purse Project and Stand Up Placer, among others. When you join Soroptimist you connect with amazing women while learning about and supporting many worthy community programs.

Soroptimist members also participate in many local events. You will see us serving lunch to our area seniors at the Loomis L.I.F.E. Center several times a year, co-hosting the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Mixer, and supporting the Loomis Christmas Tree Lighting. Just look for the ladies having all the fun and you’ll find us!
