Volunteer Day at Second Harvest Food Bank

​The Pesta & Pesta Wealth Management community gathered on July 10, 2024 to serve Second Harvest Food Bank, one of the largest food banks in the nation. Together, we sorted 3600 pounds of food and packed meals for 720 families in the Silicon Valley area.

The day was a powerful reminder of the profound impact volunteers can have on their local communities. Because of the success of this event, we anticipate hosting more volunteer opportunities in the future, so please consider joining us.

Stay tuned for more fun volunteer opportunities and events!

2024 Q1 Market Outlook

The 2024 Q1 Market Outlook event with Derek Pesta and Carson Group’s Director, Portfolio Strategy, Patrick Sittner was held in January of 2024 at the Quinlan Community Center.

In his presentation, Sittner explained how the often-predicted recession of 2023 never happened and how the bull market is alive and well. As he put it, “It’s amazing how well things played out!” It was an informative event that helped attendees feel a little more prepared for what the first quarter of 2024 might bring.
