Every investment we make changes lives;

“This initiative has allowed us to bring together many resources for one common goal: to promote healthy eating and active living in the Monument area of Concord. The takeaways we have learned from this collaboration will serve our community for many years to come.”
– said an involved community member and leader, about the three-year, $10 million HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) project, designed to help combat obesity by making healthy choices accessible to more people in under-served communities across Northern California.
