Welcome to PUEBLOAfter two smaller scale ventures, PUEBLO launched an expanded version of the Urban Youth Harvest program in 2009. Working with Cycles of Change, Oakland's youth biked their way to harvest excess produce from Oakland's back yards, providing this delicious and nutritious bounty to Oakland's low income seniors who lack access to healthy produce.
PUEBLO Assists Oakland Food Policy Council 
PUEBLO is working with the Oakland Food Policy Council to help craft a strategic plan to present to the City Council later this year. On January 21st, the Council had its second full Council meeting, after smaller working groups had met to discuss proposals and recommendations. A diverse group of individuals, community based organizations as well as public agencies are represented by this group, and all meetings are open to the public.
