DESCRIPTION:OAKLAND, Ca – The HOPE Collaborative was recently granted $1.2 million 
 from the W.K Kellogg Foundation. They will mark the beginning of their 
 implementation action plan at Laney College, on October 31 from 11 am – 3 
 pm. \n \nThere will be healthy free food, plant give aways, music, spoken 
 word and children’s activities. Representatives from the Oakland 
 Mayor’s Office are expected to be present along with other dignitaries.\n 
 \nThe HOPE Collaborative is a group of organizations, institutions, and 
 community residents that was formed to improve the health and quality of 
 life in Oakland’s most vulnerable neighborhoods by transforming its food 
 and fitness environments.\n \n“HOPE seeks to dramatically decrease the 
 disparities amongst community ownership, health and education,” said Leon 
 Davis, co-chair of HOPE. “This then,” Davis continued to say, “will 
 also decrease disparities in crime, improve property value and allow our 
 neighborhoods to become more resilient in dealing with the social problems 
 that affect all of Oakland.”\n \nThe HOPE Collaborative envisions: Having 
 more vibrant Oakland neighborhoods that provide equitable access to 
 affordable, healthy, locally grown food; safe and inviting places for 
 physical activity and play; and sustainable, successful, local economies.\n 
 \nThe HOPE Collaborative welcomes all community members and organizations 
 that share the vision of a vibrant, healthy Oakland to come and celebrate 
 at Laney College, on October 31 from 11 am – 3 pm.\n\nContact: Leon
