Welcome to our website!

CommuniteAlchemist Community Development Corporation (CDC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing and strengthening the ability of Sacramento residents to shape the future of their neighborhoods and benefit equitably from development. We do this by helping residents identify the best ways to improve their communities. Our primary service area is the Alkali and Mansion Flat neighborhoods of downtown Sacramento. We developed the Urban Farm Stand Project in response to this neighborhood’s need for fresh produce. We are replicating the Urban Farm Stand model in other interested communities. Based on the success of our Urban Farm Stand, we are actively pursuing new community-inspired projects and potential partnerships with other organizations.
