MISSION
To acknowledge, support and uplift agricultural workers who help to feed the world.
HISTORY
The Farmworker Caravan began on April 25, 2020 as a grassroots effort by individuals led by Darlene Tenes of CasaQ by Darlene to provide emergency supplies to these oft-forgotten essential workers during the pandemic.
It continued as California farmworkers were working during heatwaves, wildfire smoke and fearful of COVID-19 throughout the pandemic for long hours with little pay to keep food on the tables of everyone across America.
SERVICE AREA
The Farmworker Caravans partners with nonprofit agencies located in agricultural areas in Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, Napa, San Mateo and San Luis Obispo Counties.
