LAST WEEK!

Based on a similar program founded in the city of Los Angeles, Sacramento Summer Night Lights (SSNL) is a violence reduction program disguised as fun.  A product of multi-sector collaboration amongst various stakeholders, SSNL runs between 10-14 weeks during the summer months at Center Parkway and Mack Road.  Attendees are offered FREE food, activities, educational and resourceful workshops targeted at parents, young adults, and children. In addition, the program promotes law enforcement and community interactions to build a better understanding and relationship between the two. By creating a safe environment, the program fostered community growth and trust which resulted in a drastic reduction in violence.

The Valley-Mack Farmers Market is a community driven initiative to create a vibrant and thriving marketplace where local residents, farmers, bakers and artisans come together to share the bounty of our local region to increase access to fresh, healthy, local and affordable foods.
