WHAT WE DO
We bring small local businesses and investors together to create a more vibrant local economy.
Our Core Values
Diversity and equality
We want every person of every color, gender, economic status, etc., to feel included in our community. Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same.
Compassion and Connection
We strive for compassion and connection to people and the planet, to be good neighbors, to encourage diversity and community engagement.
Productive resilience
We encourage every person to be part of the production, not just the consumption, of goods and services to create freedom and security.
OUR TEAM
We are a group of Altadena residents who want to build strong community ties and a strong and resilient local economy that benefits our whole community. While we believe in volunteerism, we also believe that each person needs to make a living and should be rewarded for their contributions. We believe in interdependence, diversity and equality, and compassion.
