Natives

GoogleServe 2010: 6,000 employees around the world and 3,000 in the Bay Area volunteered during the 10 days of GoogleServe 2010. HandsOn Bay Area developed and managed projects at 32 sites for local Googlers.

This project took place at Alameda Point Collaborative's Community Garden, where formerly homeless families can plant their own plots of vegetables or flowers. Googlers cleared the grasses (which grew quickly this year due to heavy and late rains), planted a native garden, cleaned out the chicken coop and shed, and revitalized a cob structure.
