Tami, Karen, Michele & Ngoc – represent various focus areas of 六合社区 coming together for this meaningful activity
六合社区鈥檚 various offices came together last Friday for a wellness activity that brought us together at one of our Grantee Partner sites, Veggielution. The annual activity is a chance to get together outdoors and feel a part of the processes that we support.聽
From weeding the land where fruits and vegetables will be planted, to packaging the locally grown harvest for distribution, we all contributed to a fellow local nonprofit that shares our mission of building health equity.聽
Time spent in the office and at the computer, while essential, can sometimes feel abstract and not hands-on. Seeing the outcome of our work in the form of a thriving community farm is refreshing. We are pleased to be a small part of increasing access to fresh fruit and vegetables through trusted partners in health such as Veggielution.聽

What is ? The mission of Veggielution is to connect people from diverse backgrounds outdoors through food and farming to build community in East San Jos茅.
