🌱 HCBF Celebrated Earth Day with a flourish at SBCC’s HHC Farm! 🌍 The grand opening of the amphitheater is a vibrant addition to the sustainable sanctuary. The community came together on the 3rd Earth Day to cut the ribbon and embrace the beauty of the local farm.

HCBF is a proud sponsor of the farm and grateful to witness the continued support of this location.

. All of us at the Harbor Community Benefit Found

.

All of us at the Harbor Community Benefit Foundation, extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the bridge collapse.

We are with all of those impacted, the first responder teams that were involved in the search and rescue efforts and those now working on salvage and recovery.

The communities that are adjacent to ports and maritime facilities throughout the nation, are often inextricably connected to the port-related industries and activities. The rippling effects of this tragedy will be far reaching.

During these times of loss, we have an increased awareness of the dangers that port-related industries and activities bring to bear on workers, and the broader community. As part of the San Pedro Bay port complex, the largest industrial port in the United States and among the largest cargo ports in the world - we feel very close to this tragedy and our hearts go out to all of the families of those lost.

We renew our commitment to investing in the quality of life of communities impacted by port-serving industries and the related goods movement activities locally, across the nation and around the world.

Sincerely,
Dana P. Goland
Executive Director
