Who We Are
Our Story
Highland Roots Project was born from a deep belief that the San Gabriel Valley thrives when its people are supported, connected, and empowered. Founded by a collective of local residents, advocates, and service providers, we saw a need for a centralized, community driven resource hub, something built for us, by us.
What started as a grassroots effort to help neighbors navigate life’s challenges has grown into a trusted guidepost for those seeking support. From housing and food to mental health and employment services. We honor the diverse cultures, languages, and histories that make up this valley and are committed to walking alongside every individual with dignity and care.
Highland Roots isn’t just about connecting people to services—it’s about restoring a sense of belonging, rebuilding trust, and rooting our communities in the strength they already carry. Together, we’re growing a future where everyone has the tools they need to thrive.
Our Mission
Highland Roots Project exists to connect, uplift, and empower the people of the San Gabriel Valley by providing accessible, culturally rooted guidance to essential services and support systems. We are committed to building stronger, healthier communities, one connection at a time.
Our Services
We serve as a trusted resource navigation hub dedicated to the San Gabriel Valley. We don’t provide direct services, but we walk alongside individuals and families to connect them with the support they need from local, trusted providers.
