Our Blue Flag Commitment

Our Blue Flag Commitment

The Blue Flag Committee of Ojochal leads the effort to create and maintain a sustainable and environmentally aware community. The National Blue Flag initiative awards flags to communities, services and beaches that achieve the sustainability standards. The Ojochal community, our water service and Ventana beach have been awarded flags since 2017. 
The Family Support Center of Ojochal is committed to community sustainability.  These are our Blue Flag initiatives:
  • Every family we support receives a reusable grocery bag to support the elimination of single-use plastic in our community.
  • La Manita - our thrift shop - reuses clothing and other items,  supporting families in need, or generating funds to support our operations.
  • Our volunteers re-purpose unwanted donated clothing and other items to create handbags and gift items suitable for sale.
  • The Blue Flag Committee is invited to participate in our community events, providing a great forum to spread the word on sustainability.
