Your participation benefits RCD's families, providing affordable housing with services on-site and at no cost to help residents gain self-sufficiency and build community.   Resident services have an enormous impact in people's lives and in their relationship to the community in which they live - on the job, at school, where they shop, when they receive medical services.  Come to Villa Vasconcellos and walk in support of our residents!

The course is a paved, fairly flat trail shared by bicyclists and walkers.  You can walk, bike, skate, turn around at any point, stay and play in Heather Farm, or continue on the trail to the Lime Ridge Open Space.  Have fun!

Villa Vasconcellos is located at 1515 Geary Road, near North Main Street.  Pleasant Hill BART is a 1/2 mile walk away.  Please bring a refillable water bottle to help us reduce waste. 

More information and fundraising help is available on our walk website.
