Essential Food and Medicine, Natural Builder Miguel Elliot of Living Earth Structures, and Artists Building Communities worked together with residents of the West Oakland Wood Street housing encampment to build a kitchen, community health clinic, bathroom, shower, and free store.
These earthen structures serve the residents and volunteers of the encampment so they can safely and comfortably prepare meals, gather in the gardens for communal dinners, seek health advise from holistic healers and medical professionals, and take what they need from the free store.
