Feeding the Frontline: Feeding Our Farmworkers
Feeding the Front Line: Feeding Our Farmworkers seeks “to feed those who feed us” by visiting farms & community locations to provide lunch or dinner for free to farmworkers, as well as providing boxes of essential products and healthy boxed food to those who have not stopped their duties while the rest of Ventura County residents have to stay at home.
All donations will go to feeding our farmworkers. Clinicas del Camino Real is the fiscal sponsor.
The COVID-19 Crisis has underscored more than ever the importance and value that farmworkers represent in Ventura County. Farming and farm-dependent businesses provide an estimated 43,000 jobs in the County, generating $2.2 billion in revenue and $76 million in indirect business taxes annually. The impact farmworkers have in our economy and the job they are performing during COVID19 contribute mightily to our collective well-being. They are as important and essential as the job other first responders are performing to save lives during this pandemic. Regrettably, there is little acknowledgement of the vital role farmworkers have played historically and certainly during this unprecedented COVID 19 pandemic.
Your much-appreciated donation will help us feed our farmworkers throughout Ventura County!
