Thank You Clark Construction San Diego Team! Last Friday, January 24th, @ClarkConstructionGroup helped revive our beloved Victory Garden at Veterans Village of San Diego's (VVSD) Campus during their Clark's annual Week of Service. Thanks to the team members that volunteered their time, talent, and hard work to make VVSD's Victory Garden thrive once again! The Victory Garden will soon provide fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruits that will be used to prepare the nutritious meals served in our VVSD dining facility. Even more special, the garden will be lovingly maintained by the veterans themselves, creating a meaningful #FarmtoTable connection.
