The following nonprofits are excited to meet you and have fun activities prepared such as trivia, arts & crafts, planting native plants, photo ops, storytelling and more. There will also be raffle baskets and food trucks (Red Whale Coffee, Banh Mi Zon, Kona Ice, and The Grilled Cheez Guy) in attendance.
