Our work continues!

Hello Everyone!

It's almost the end of January and we have had an incredibly busy month in the Community Connections program.

We returned to Collective Roots Garden in East Palo Alto. The weather has been gorgeous and we are delighted to be out in the garden, working with the plants and vegetables. We have been transplanting seedlings, harvesting vegetables and cleaning the garden. Our participants love working outside and it's fun to learn about growing our own food.

In January we also started working at Second Harvest Food Bank in San Mateo. We put together food baskets, separate fruit and vegetables and stock shelves. The warehouse that we work in is really big and we end up meeting a lot of very friendly people each time we work there.

In our educational program several participants traveled to the Exploritorium in San Francisco to visit the exhibits. They spent the afternoon learning about science and adventure and had a wonderful time.

In February we will start working with two new partners....so stay tuned to see where we end up!

Thanks for reading.

Andrea
