San Luis Obispo County Food Bank
The Food Bank Coalition is the only countywide source of nutritious food for people in need from San Miguel to Nipomo. Working hand in hand with volunteers, donors, corporate sponsors and non-profit agency partners, it's our mission to see that no one in our county goes hungry.
SLO Bicycle Coalition
SLO Bicycle Coalition envisions the County of San Luis Obispo as a vibrant community with a vital economy; a community where walking, cycling, and convenient mass-transit make personal mobility safe, simple and fun. Central downtown areas would be designed for pedestrians and cyclists. Well-planned mixed-use neighborhoods would offer a balance of high and low-density housing with commercial resources nearby. Abundant open spaces would make easy access for all. A thriving eco-tourism industry would emphasize the use of public transportation and outdoor recreation.
