The arts and nonprofit leader, who died Feb. 20 at age 68, founded Valley Verde to help provide food security to Santa Clara County’s low-income residents.
Raul Lozano always seemed like a quiet guy. In the nearly 20 years I knew him, I don’t think I ever heard him raise his voice. But the impact he had in Santa Clara County was loud and clear.
Former Santa Clara County Supervisor Blanca Alvarado agreed with her son. “For me, the best way to describe Raul is he was a humble giant, pure and simple,” she said. Following in the footsteps of his father, a big home gardener, he saw what was happening to his neighbors during the Great Recession and decided he wanted to help teach people grow vegetables in their own backyards. He called the initiative La Mesa Verde, Spanish for the Green Table, and he soon joined forces with Sacred Heart Community Services in San Jose, which brought the program under its umbrella and made Lozano its program manager.
