include the aspirations and needs of

others, for their sakes and for our own."

PARTNER SITES"This was another great César Chávez event this year. I

really feel like the work we do with our organization and

the farm really ties in with the work that César Chávez

did. The students were wonderful and jumped right into

projects, sometimes outside of their comfort zone. It was

really great to see so many people working together for

a common cause."

Brother Benno's Thrift Shop The goals of the Brother Benno Foundation are to see that,

within the limits of its resources, no one in the area goes

hungry, no one goes without shelter or clothing, and most

importantly, no one goes without someone to care for him

or her. They also strive to help their guests attain self-

sufficiency.

San Marcos Historical Society - LuiseñoLearning Garden

The Society is a private, non-profit corporation devoted to the

collection, preservation and presentation of artifacts, documents

and photos relating to the history of the area. With a desire to

show the community the beauty of a nature-inspired water-wise

garden, the Vallecitos Water District donated a California native

plant garden to Heritage Park. Highlighted in the ethnobotanical

garden are the cultural uses of plants used by the Native

Americans that used to live in the area. 

Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley was founded in 1991, to provide

low income housing for families in the Inland Valley. They are

dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally, as well as

globally, through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes;

by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing

training and access to resources to help families improve their

housing conditions.

ProduceGood ProduceGood helps to feed people by gleaning backyard

fruit throughout North County. After almost five years and a

collaboration with Feeding America San Diego, they have

been able to increase distribution capacity, putting practices

in place to dramatically increase the number of growers,

picks and volunteers. Additionally, they are committed to

finding other sustainable solutions to alleviate hunger,

reclaim and repurpose waste and promote the health and

well-being of community members through social

engagement, reciprocity and giving.

Ivey Ranch Park AssociationIvey Ranch Park is dedicated to encourage the interaction of

disabled and able bodied children, of all ages, by providing

Dragon OrganicsDragon Organics is more than just a farm that believes

in organic growing and healthy eating. They are part of

a collaborative effort between New Alternatives, Inc.,

San Pasqual Academy, and the YES Program, providing

learning opportunities through agricultural literacy, and

hands on job skills to San Pasqual Academy's youth in

order to help cultivate independent life skills.

The 5th grade students at Richland saved plastic bottle caps as part of

a fundraiser for needed supplies, and decided to up-cycle the caps into

a mural art project. With help from CSUSM, they built a mural for the

cafeteria. CSUSM volunteers worked with 5th grade students painting

and using electric drills to screw in coordinating color bottle caps. This

school beautification project will bring joy to students and teachers for

many years to come.

Richland Elementary School

Sustainable Food Project Garden at CSUSM The intent of the project is to grow food as part of the learning and class activities in Geography

460: Food Systems and Emerging Markets. They have succeeded beyond expectations in this

regard. At the same time, the garden is much more than just a class activity. Students, who are

responsible for building and farming the garden, gain hands-on experience in the integration of

experiential learning with curriculum. This presents an amazing opportunity for both future teachers

and gardeners alike. The Food Project became an approved food source for the CSUSM campus

childcare center in Fall 2012.
