We support and create
local programs and initiatives using educational outreach and community service project that build greater community connectedness, work toward solutions that strengthen the local economy, and support re-localizing food sources. On these pages we are sharing resources to help build a healthier Tulare County. A big focus of this repository is to promote school health and wellness because the future of our county's well-being depends on the almost 100,000 children (25% of Tulare's population attending our local schools.
