An Afternoon Volunteering at Chop’s Teen Club

A few of us from Linkenheimer spent a couple hours at Chop’s Teen Club in Santa Rosa last week. We came to paint, clean and help support a local non-profit that is shaping future generations in Sonoma County.

The Chairs

The chairs we refreshed weren’t new. They came from Lena’s, the restaurant that operated in that building for roughly 30 years, before it became Chops. Before Lena’s, the site was the Battaglia Hotel, back in the 1890s.

So these chairs have a history. They held people on anniversary dinners, first dates, ordinary Friday nights. Decades of them.

Now they hold teenagers. Kids learning to cook in the teaching kitchen, record a track in the music studio, play basketball in the gym, or just sit somewhere safe and figure out who they’re becoming.

Same chairs. Whole new reason to exist. We spent the afternoon getting them ready for another year with the teens.

The Place

Chop’s Teen Club exists because of one man. Charles “Chop” DeMeo was a local attorney who grew up here without […]

A New Chapter, the Same Mission: Linkenheimer’s 2026 El Salvador Eye Care Trip

For nearly two decades, “the gift of vision” has been woven into who we are. It started back in 2007 with our first eye care trips to the Rio San Juan region of Nicaragua — a partnership that started with John Jones and the Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary and over the years, tested tens of thousands of people, dispensed countless pairs of glasses, and even helped build a permanent surgery center for a region of 40,000 people who had no other access to medical care. It became one of the proudest traditions in our firm’s 90-plus year history.

This May, that mission found a new home.

A team from Linkenheimer spent eight days in El Salvador, with three and a half days of it deep in the rural highlands outside Ataco in the small town of Apaneca — coffee country, tucked into the mountains, beautiful and remote and severely underserved. We came to do the work we know and love: helping people see clearly, often for the first time in their lives.

The Work

The numbers tell part of the story. Over the course of our time there, our team tested more than 1,500 patients and handed out 1,500 pairs of prescription […]

Giving Back: Linkenheimer LLP Volunteers with Redwood Gospel Mission

At Linkenheimer LLP, community is at the heart of everything we do. Last week, our team had the privilege of volunteering with the Redwood Gospel Mission at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, an event focused on providing support and care to those in need across our region.

From serving meals to assisting with event logistics, we joined forces with an incredible group of volunteers and staff to create a welcoming and supportive environment for members of our community facing hardship. Events like this highlight the strength and compassion of Sonoma County, reminding us of the power of collective action and connection.

Volunteering is not just about giving back—it’s about stepping into our community with open hearts, meeting people where they are, and embodying our firm’s core values of Approachability, Care, and Teamwork. We are proud to contribute to initiatives that align with these values and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Redwood Gospel Mission for organizing such a meaningful event and for their unwavering dedication to serving those in need. It was an honor to work alongside so many passionate individuals who share a […]
