Irene Rakochy, a Founding Board Member of ABG, a great friend, and a dedicated ABG volunteer, died unexpectedly in her sleep in June. She was 69, and leaves two adult sons. We miss her so much.
In honor of Irene, Alameda Backyard Growers has donated to the Redwood Empire Food Bank as well as Friends in Sonoma Helping (F.I.S.H.) to help feed people who have become homeless due to the fire. We will continue to look for ways to support our neighbors to the north and fight food insecurity.
