Good News for Atascadero Loaves & Fishes, Susan Scheetz, Sarah Mosichuk and Keelan Rarig
Atascadero
Nonprofit organization GRID Alternatives recently completed a monthlong collaboration with Cal Poly Project Solar students to install a rooftop solar system for Atascadero Loaves & Fishes, which provides hunger relief in the community.
With refrigerators and freezers running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the installation is expected to save the nonprofit $8,000 to $10,000 a year in energy costs.
The project was funded by the George Hoag Family Foundation, PG&E, Atascadero Rotary Club, private donors and bequests.
