API Forward Movement
Water is life, and climate-resilient neighborhoods are the future! 💧🌱For Water 1, the MYARC cohort headed over to Peck Water Conservation Park to connect with our partners Henry Mitchell and Justin Lano at Amigos de los Rios (@amigosrios). Our advocates dove into a "Water 101" crash course led by APIFM’s Water is Life (WIL) team before taking a guided tour of a local nature-based water capture project.The youth explored how green infrastructure can completely transform urban concrete spaces into living, climate-resilient landscapes that protect our groundwater and our health. The day was packed with hands-on activities, from testing water quality and identifying native plants to learning exactly how bioswales protect our local watershed. We even got to connect it back to our own roots by looking at local greening transformations, like APIFM’s WIL Fremont Elementary School project! 🏫🌿Thank you so much to the @amigosrios team for hosting us, grounding us in watershed health, and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards! 🌍🌊...@lanatureforall @cleanpowerinfo #APIFM #AmigosdelosRios #WaterConservation #UrbanGreening #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #WatershedProtection #CommunityScience #SGV … See MoreSee Less

🌿 We’re excited to share highlights from the new raised garden beds installed at Malamalama Ole Lalolagi Church (MOL). Our team has been steadily tending to the space, watering the seedlings, checking on their progress, and watching the garden come to life day by day. What began as freshly built beds is now slowly transforming into a growing garden, cared for with intention and consistency. We planted a variety of crops including lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, cucumber, and more. These selections not only support access to fresh, nutritious food, but also reflect and honor the preferences of the community we serve. We're grateful to the LA Food Equity Fund and the MOL congregation for their ongoing support in bringing this vision to life. We look forward to continuing to nurture these plants alongside the community and watching the garden flourish in the weeks ahead. 🌿
Growing Together at MOL 🌱
Our team recently returned to Carson in partnership with Malamalama Ole Lalolagi (MOL) Church for another impactful distribution. 💚 This event featured fresh produce and coconut milk made possible through SCAN Health Plan funding, along with taro leaves purchased from Alma Backyard Farm thanks to support from the LA Food Equity Fund. 🥬🥥 ✨ A special highlight of the day was the taro leaf taste test (known as palusami in Samoan and lu in Tongan), deliciously baked in coconut milk by Joel and Isa Fonua. Community members had the chance to enjoy a cherished staple of the Pacific Islander diet. 🌺 We also distributed mochi pancake mix, generously donated by Every Day Action, adding an extra treat for families to enjoy this season. 🎁 Throughout the event, attendees shared their gratitude and appreciation for both the variety and quality of items offered. Despite recent changes to funding and a shift to less frequent distributions, the warmth and welcoming energy from the MOL community remains strong. Their generosity continues to inspire us, and we look forward to continuing to serve and support them. ✨
