Los Altos Forward is an open, all-volunteer group promoting community vibrancy in downtown Los Altos.
-
- Los Altos Legacies donated $1,000 to the Los Altos Forward Sit and Share program. This donation will allow the program to finish purchasing the necessary furniture an installation in front of the Chase Bank on Main St.
With the rise of Internet retail and competition from local shopping districts and malls (including the new San Antonio Center), it is more important than ever to support and feel proud of our downtown.
Also, Los Altos Forward believes that the downtown should be more than just buildings in which to shop and dine and it should also have wonderful public spaces where citizens can come to have fun, socialize, and see their friends and neighbors.
