On January 18th, 2010, the Silicon Valley HealthCorps braved the mud, wind, and rain in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In partnership with Sacred Heart Community Service Center and the La Mesa Verde project, volunteers spent the day installing raised garden beds at the homes of low income families, in order to provide them with access to affordable and organic produce for years. Over the course of the year, these families will be provided with information on how to grow and harvest their own produce, how to prepare the produce they grow, and the nutritional benefits of eating fresh fruits and vegetables. This project truly reflects the mission of the Silicon Valley HealthCorps.
