Welcome to PUEBLOAfter a successful demonstration project last summer, PUEBLO launched an expanded program this year. Working with Cycles of Change this year, Oakland's youth will bike their way to harvest excess produce from Oakland's back yards and provide this delicious and nutritious bounty to Oakland's low income seniors who lack access to healthy produce. Employed through the Mayor's Summer Jobs Program, these young people will not only harvest the fruit but will learn about health and nutrition and the need for a sustainable food system.
