Mahonia Vineyard supports Soul River through donations of wine for their annual events.

Soul River is a nonprofit 501 c3 focusing on bringing veterans as mentors and inner-city youth together into the wild rivers of nature. They inspire the youth by becoming guardians, teachers and role models as an act of service. The hope is that this encourages youth participants to grow and become ambassadors of our natural environment.

Profile’s mission is to produce a season of first-class productions and community engagement activities centered around a single writer whose vision broadens our perspective on our world and deepens our collective compassion.
