OUR GOAL:

For three years, we have helped feed and clothe +100 poor migrant farm worker families in the Monterey, CA area (Soledad, Salinas and King City) with the generous donations of many. Winter is a time they have little work, and the struggle is great as no work = no food and essentials are greatly needed. Our humble friends are often forgotten and we hope to ease their pain. In the dollars they would have spent having to buy these items, we hope they can use it to pay their bills and rent.

TAX DEDUCTIBLE:

We are happy to provide a tax-deductible receipt, please let us know if you would like a receipt.

WHAT DO WE DO:

We collect donations two months before December 5th as we hope to bring joy to our friends on December 10, 2022. We partner with families in the Los Gatos/Bay area to organize and deliver the donations in a U-Haul truck and many cars to the Monterey/Salinas/King City communities that are struggling the most. Last two years we met very kind men, women, and children in front of their humble homes in the farming area (this year, we hope to use a church hall so everyone will not be so cold) and distribute according to their needs. THEY ARE IN NEED. They are always extremely grateful for your help. Last year we gave it all away!
