They supply our food, we can supply their care!

By Christine Cronin | Executive Director

Due to all of your wonderful support and the volunteers from the CARE collective made up of Livity Rising, Integrative Healers Action Network (IHAN) and Acupuncturists Without Borders, we continue to serve the migrant farmworker community. Since the levee broke on March 11, 2023, we have provided over 400 treatments (acupuncture, massage, chiropractic care) to the Pajaro community.

The care given by the CARE collaborative is, in many cases, the only medical care the Pajaro community receives. They suffer from chronic pain and extreme stress - both of which have only been made worse by the severe weather over the last few months. Many of them have lost their jobs as a result of the severe weather. With the levee break, they lost their homes and belongings to water, mud and mold. This is a community that deserves our care. If you cannot provide time, please provide your financial support.

The California farmworker community produces 1/3 of all vegetables and 3/4 of all the fruits and nuts for the United States. 90% of all strawberries are grown in California.

We need to support those who allow us to have food on our tables! Please give generously!
