Healthy Vallejo team cleans up

Interns with Healthy Vallejo didn’t just show up—they stepped up, proving their grit and determination on a demolition project that put their construction skills to the test. Two dangerously unstable mobile homes in Solano County needed to come down, and these interns were ready to make it happen, embracing the challenge with hands-on learning and teamwork.

Healthy Vallejo is no stranger to rolling up its sleeves for the community. From leading monthly neighborhood cleanups to directly engaging high-risk youth, this organization is all about making a tangible difference. With a deep-rooted commitment to dignity and equity, Healthy Vallejo continues to transform neighborhoods and empower those who call them home. Learn more: https://healthyvallejo.com/
