Shifting EPACENTER
EPACENTER, East Palo Alto’s creative youth development center, will now offer its arts-related job training opportunities and arts programs to people of all ages and abilities.
The nonprofit’s board of trustees this month expanded its mission statement to include the East Palo Alto community at large.
“Our community has been telling us they would like access to amenities enjoyed by other neighboring cities, and we took that feedback seriously, with our board of directors determining in May to explore how to expand our offerings to additional constituents,” EPACENTER’s Executive Director Nadine Rambeau said in a release.
In addition to continuing its youth programs, EPACENTER will offer daytime classes for seniors, adults with developmental disabilities and other underserved community members of all ages. EPACENTER will also offer a regular series of free public events that include family-friendly movie nights, live concerts and Family Art days.
Events will be listed in the coming months on EPACENTER.org.
Compost pickup
While Sunnyvale and Mountain View residents can still pick up free compost and mulch at the Sunnyvale SMaRT Station at 301 Carl Road, there’s now a second pickup location at Charles Street Gardens, 433 Charles St. in Sunnyvale. This compost is organic, made from local yard trimmings, and certified by the U.S. Composting Council.
Residents can pick up as much as 200 gallons per person per week in the gardens’ parking lot. The site is open daily. Bring your own shovel and container.
