Bay Area Partnership for Children and Youth Endorses the EPA Community Farmers' Market

Jennifer Peck, Executive Director, of the Bay Area Partnership for Children and Youth, states “the EPACFM project represents a perfect example of the positive benefits that can result from effective collaboration among a City’s residents, local government, and leaders from among the health, education, recreation and youth services sectors. We congratulate the City and its residents on their vision and their resolve to positively overcome challenging circumstances. It is with great appreciation for the efforts of the EPA-CFMOC that the Bay Area Partnership for Children and Youth offers its wholehearted support to the East Palo Alto Community Farmers’ Market project and its efforts to advance the well-being, health, and development of the city of East Palo Alto.

The Bay Area Partnership for Children and Youth is a non-profit organization that helps schools in the Bay Area's lowest-income communities successfully access public funding and implementation support for a wide range of youth programs. "Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of young people and the families that support them."
