March 15, 2022 - In honor of C茅sar Ch谩vez鈥檚 humble commitment to community service and respect for the environment, the Center for Community Engagement (CCE) is partnering with Food Forward on Friday, March 25 from 8:15 a.m. to 12 noon in a day of service to honor his legacy.听
Food Forward is a local non-profit that fights food waste and hunger. Since 2009, this extraordinary organization has distributed over 220,00,000 pounds of surplus produce to local communities, feeding over two million people, and preventing nearly 50,000 metric tons of carbon waste!
Join us as we 鈥済lean鈥� (harvest surplus) lemons at a local ranch in Santa Rosa Valley. Volunteers will learn about local and national food security, then talk to a local Receiving Agency representative about how their hard work impacts the local community.
Transportation, gloves, refreshments, and light snacks will be provided.
if you plan to participate. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are welcome.听
