The HEAL Project greatly enjoyed partnering with Okta, a tech company managed in San Francisco, during an event recently held at the Ritz Carlton in HMB! Okta works to secure connection between people and technology, through giving their partners secure access to tools needed for their work. THP was coupled with Okta thanks to Give to Get, a foundation that looks to associate corporate leaders with social causes.
Through this partnership, THP and Okta were able to host an interactive, in person event. During this time, team building was emphasized through multiple collaborative projects. Volunteers of Okta assembled & decorated with colorful images various Bee boxes. These boxes will be set up at each of our school gardens to be used as educational tools. These turned out lovely and we are so eager for students to see them!
Otka additionally put together Halloween goodie bags for some of our local garden students, consisting of shovels, seeds, and gloves. We hope IGP participants appreciate this Halloween trick-or-treat that contains less sugar than usual!
Lastly, Okta constructed 3 picnic tables for THP’s farm. We really enjoyed connecting with their team, and are grateful for their time assisting with various projects. We are hopeful that other corporations are inspired to touch base with local social movements!
Huge thank you to Give to Get for coordinating such a successful event!
