*Updated. Thank you Pauline, Sylvia, Joanne, and Lily for your inputs!!!
I grew up in Canton in the southern part of China. When I immigrated to San Francisco, there were a lot of Chinese resources. I have lived in various major cities in both Northern and Southern California where there are always a lot of Chinese resources. When I moved to Santa Rosa, I found those resources lacking. I have managed to find the few that work for me. Hopefully this helps you.
The Redwood Empire Chinese Association is a good start. They typically have pot luck for mid-autumn festival, Chinese new year, and a Christmas party. They have a youth lion dance program, and adults choir and tai-chi program. I don't think their Chinese school is going right now.

Groceries:
Asia Mart on 2481 Guerneville Road is a decent store for most needs. They have a fairly good freezer section.
Asian Market on 1110 Petaluma Hill Rd Ste 1 is smaller but good enough to get the much needed sauces. The tamales store next door is very good and sells out early in the day.
Phnom-Pehn Oriental Grocery on 923 Petaluma Hill Rd. It is behind Santa Rosa Seafood so if you need wasabi after buying that raw salmon, you can just walk over.
Asian Food Market on 3080 Marlow Rd Ste A13. It has a meat counter and fish. You can pick a fish from the seafood counter and ask them to fry it for you just like ranch 99/big Asian markets. Joanne's parents like the pompano, which is kind of meaty and dense. They dip in soy sauce with chili sauce in it.
Weee! delivers to Santa Rosa! https://www.sayweee.com/en/onboarding
Farm:
I have been getting my Asian veggies from Radical Family Farms located in Sebastopol. They offer a community-supported agriculture (CSA) subscription that can be picked up on the farm on Fridays or Saturdays. They also have a booth at the Sebastopol Farmers Market on Sundays, 10:00 am – 1:30 pm at Sebastopol Plaza located at Petaluma Ave x Highway 12.

Food:
Don't bother. Just drive to San Francisco.
I conceded that Hang Ah Dim Sum at 2130 Armory Dr, Santa Rosa, CA 95401 is the best in Santa Rosa. I personally wouldn't eat their dim sum unless I am literally dying of hunger and can't drive to San Francisco.
Fantasy at 1520 E Washington St, Petaluma, CA 94954 has decent Cantonese dishes and does a good hotpot.
Food Deliveries:
Lee's Dim Sum is very close to the real deal.

Cooking:
Because I am unable to find any acceptable Cantonese food in Santa Rosa that tasted like home, I have been making my own. I use these guys a lot. I have had lots of success with Made With Lau.
