“Community engagement the pvhps committed both funds and several hundreds of volunteer hours to increasing community engagement. We believe that community engagement is as important as building restoration.

There were 15 high school students that participated in this activity. There were approximately 80 households that participated in the annual community yard sale. This activity was opened to all penasco valley communities members and visitors. The weekly growers market held in july and august had 8 to 10 community vendors at each market.
