One of the beautiful things about living in Fairfield is Matt Garcia saw what our city could be and started working towards it. What does our city look like through Matt’s eyes? And how can we make that dream of his come true?
It starts with something simple. Something as simple as picking up a piece of trash. By doing this, we are saying thank you for giving us a city where even the homeless and careless have more than enough to eat. We are living in gratitude.
How can we work towards Matt’s dream of supporting our youth? It’s easy. We encourage them to work hard at their goals, and we invest in their education. We encourage them to ask for help on the hard days and remind them that there is always someone there to help.
Imagine what Fairfield would look like if all our kids knew there was a group of people working for their future. Know that the Matt Garcia foundation is this group of people. I think Matt was right when he said, “This is the place to be!”
Our students have hopes and dreams. We’re showing them the ways and fundraising the means.

The recent car show held in Fairfield was an astounding success, leaving participants and attendees in awe of the incredible display of automobiles. Notably, car enthusiasts were thrilled to have such a remarkable event take place in their own backyard, as car shows are a rarity in Fairfield. The enthusiasm and passion exhibited by the attendees were truly infectious, fueling a shared excitement for what future shows might bring.
The overwhelming response from car clubs and individuals who participated in the show speaks volumes about the impact it had on the community. The sense of camaraderie and connection that was cultivated during the event was palpable, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved. It was an opportunity for like-minded individuals to come together, exchange stories and anecdotes, and celebrate their shared love for cars.
Given the resounding success of this year’s show, it is clear that there is a thriving interest in continuing this tradition. By harnessing the momentum and engaging more people in the planning and execution of future car shows, we have the potential to create an even more impressive and unforgettable experience. There is no doubt that the strength of the community, combined with the passion for cars, can transform this annual event into an iconic affair for Fairfield and its surrounding areas.
The immense support and feedback received from participants and attendees alike have provided valuable insights into what makes a car show truly exceptional. It is this collective input that will guide the growth and development of future shows, ensuring that they continue to captivate audiences and foster a sense of pride and unity in the community.
Let’s seize the opportunity to build upon the success of this year’s car show and keep the dream alive. Together, with the continued dedication and involvement of car enthusiasts and the wider community, we can create a legacy that will endure for years to come.

As I started to wake up this morning, I was over-taken by grief. My heart hurts so intensely.
I grieve for the innocent babies, children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and families, as they are watching, in horror, as their lives are taken in the most heinous and brutal ways.
I can't help but think about our own lives and the lives of our loved ones who have been murdered. I can't help but be reminded of the times, that I felt that, those who committed these crimes against "MY FAMILY" members, should die!
I soon learned through my own self assessment, that MURDERING ANYONE, in retaliation, is NOT WHO I AM! Nor, is this someone, I EVER, want to be! I can't change what has happened, And, neither can ANYONE ELSE!
The bloodshed will never end until we have a collective agreement which denounces violence. I can't change anyone else's thoughts, feelings, and/or perceptions, ONLY, MY OWN.
Today, in this moment, I will heal my heart. I will pray for Peace. I will help where I can.
As we get back to the school groove, I wanted to let you know that the PAL Food Pantry, made possible thanks to the Solano Food Bank and Kaiser, is open!
ANY local middle or high school student can visit the food pantry and pick up items to take home. You can see a quick clip of what a student’s basket might look like here
The panty is open for “Stop & Shop” hours on Tuesdays between 5pm and 7pm. However, if you have a student who needs a special visit, please let us know.
