In Our Community

Maisie Jane’s is an active business in ‘giving-back’ to its community.  Maisie Jane’s feels blessed by all the support the community has given her company through the years and is happy to support the following organizations, (among many others), with donations, volunteer time, and other aid requested.

WTC (Work Training Center)

The mission of WTC: is to assist and support people with disabilities as they achieve increased independence in work and leisure and to enhance the quality of their lives. This organization holds a special place in Maisie Jane’s heart.  Maisie Jane’s employed a crew ranging from four to ten people for four years in the early years in business.  Currently, Maisie Jane’s hires the WTC to make their wood gift and display products.  Maisie Jane’s has found this group of people to be hard working, sincere, and very skilled.

CWA (California Women for Agriculture)

CWA's basic role is to help its members develop the knowledge and skills necessary to convey the mutual benefits of a vibrant agricultural economy and healthy rural communities to those who are in positions to impact the future of agriculture in California.  Maisie Jane Hurtado is an active member of the    Northern Sacramento Valley Chapter where she was Co-President from 2007-2009.  This chapter has made education in agriculture their number one objective and Maisie Jane’s is a strong supporter of this cause.

CSUC Agriculture Department (Chico State University of California)
