Shout out to @electrifyamerica.com and the #FirstCarFocus campaign!
Team Acterra joined Cabrillo Unified and Ravenswood CSD food-service staff for a tour of The Heal Project USA’s beautiful 2-acre farm in El Granada. We learned where school meals come from and why it matters.
Grateful to the Heal Project for this amazing local resource in San Mateo County!
Half Moon Bay’s fields produce food for California, yet many local farmworkers can’t afford to feed their own families.
Change is happening, from affordable housing projects to vital funding coming out of San Mateo County. Read more about it in our blogpost:
