Ongoing – Sponsor an Empanada Lunch for Farmworkers!
While we encourage you to support your local food producers by visiting the farmers markets or joining CSA’s, it is likely that those anywhere in the United States are also benefiting from the labor of California farmworkers. California produces 1/3 of the nation’s vegetables, nearly 2/3 of its fruits and nuts and 90% of the strawberries grown in this country. While farmworkers have been laboring away since day one of the pandemic as essential workers, they are still almost completely excluded by government assistance programs.
The Empanadas for Farmworkers campaign has been such a success that we will be expanding it to a monthly basis for as long as we can.
We have already delivered over 300 lunches to farmworkers in Watsonville and Half Moon Bay in collaboration with the Watsonville Campesino Appreciation Caravan and ALAS, Ayudando Latinos a Sonar.
