Chula Vista online store now open
Chula Vista residents are proud of their city, and now they can show their pride with a variety of merchandise bearing the city’s logo. First came face masks branded with the city logo, followed by variations of the logo spotted on hats, T-shirts and tattoos. So the city opened an online store at www.chulavistaca.gov/store. The store is accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world to buy items such as T-shirts, face masks, baby onesies, stickers, skateboards and more with a blue or white version of the logo. Proceeds from all sales benefit Chula Vista public entities that support the community, including programs offered by the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility, the Chula Vista Public Library Foundation, and Friends of Chula Vista Parks and Recreation. Funding to these nonprofits provides free and reduced programming, materials and supplies, benefiting people and animals.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has awarded $230,981 for organizations to enhance agricultural education and leadership opportunities under the 2020 California Special Interest License Plate (CalAgPlate) grant program.
“Over the last seven years the CalAgPlate program has supported more than $1.4 million in funding for agricultural education,” said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. “It continues to be a great program that connects and educates school children through activities like ag-focused field trips and school gardens, while also supporting leadership training and career development opportunities.”
The CalAgPlate program is funded with proceeds generated through the sale of special interest, agriculture-themed license plates through the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
