GRID Alternatives Central Valley started with six team members and one truck and trailer in the first warehouse. Eight years later, 32 team members strong. Due to explosive growth, GRID Central Valley just finished moving into its fourth location. Since 2009, Tom Esqueda, GRID Executive Director has led his group on an adventure, from working on one install a week, to working on three installs per day. Since inception, GRID Central Valley has focused on helping the many communities it serves.

In celebration of Earth Day and their Global Volunteer Month, five Bank of America volunteers rolled up their sleeves this weekend to install solar for the Duenas family in Reedley, California.
