Farmworker Caravan
Donation protected
There are approximately 420,000 farmworkers in California. In the United States over a third of the country's vegetables and two-thirds of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California.
California's farmworkers are overwhelmed with Covid-19 fears, wildfire smoke, low pay and weakening of their overall health combined with mental stress that everyone is going through because of the Pandemic. They are working twice as hard during the heatwave and fires while getting paid less because much of the harvest has been ruined by ash and smoke and they are paid by piece work. Please help us support these essential workers who are putting food on the tables of everyone across the USA.
Funds will be used for the following:
Facemasks and PPE (personal protective equipment)
Non-perishable foods
Basic household needs
Premade family meals*
Visit the Farmworker Caravan website for more information on the work we have been doing.
*Meals will be purchased from small business owners.
