Our Community Health team was excited to host another fresh produce distribution with our partners at Hope United Methodist Church! ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿ’šโ€‹This visit was extra special as we shared fresh taro roots grown alongside Alma Backyard Farms, the same roots that have helped us supply taro leaves to our South Bay partners all year long. ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿคฒโ€‹A huge thank you to Rev. Dr. Sione Tu'ipulotu for connecting us with local Samoan and Tongan community members. We canโ€™t wait to come back! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™...โ€‹#CommunityHealth #SouthBay #LongBeach #AlmaBackyardFarms #UnitedWithHopeUMC #Taro #AAPI #NHPI …

๐ŸŒฟ Weโ€™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. ๐ŸŒฟ
Growing Together at MOL ๐ŸŒฑ
Our team recently returned to Carson in partnership with Malamalama Ole Lalolagi (MOL) Church for another impactful distribution. ๐Ÿ’š 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. ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿฅฅ โœจ 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. ๐ŸŒบ We also distributed mochi pancake mix, generously donated by Every Day Action, adding an extra treat for families to enjoy this season. ๐ŸŽ 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. โœจ
