Thank you for supporting us
For nearly ten years, Quesada Gardens Initiative has proven that Bayview can be united while maintaining its rich diversity. The organization has been on the street every day, building bridges between community, business and government. It has been drawing together longtime residents and new arrivals, and bringing visitors to the heart of Bayview for a positive experience.
Quesada Gardens Initiative is that rarest of organizations: just plain folks working together to improve the challenged place where they live. The organization has: - Turned a notoriously dangerous section of the neighborhood's heart into a safe and beautiful oasis.
- Brought hundreds of neighbors out of fear and isolation to agree on a vision for their own community.
- Generated a down payment on its future of 35,000 hours of volunteerism.
- Created 35 resident-defined and -led projects.
- Modeled how communities can both welcome new neighbors and respect folks who have been here a long time.
All for pennies compared to other efforts!
