On Friday we hosted a boots drive at Muranaka Farms in Moorpark, where we were able to distributed over 50 pairs of work boots to farmworkers harvesting parsley, radishes, and leeks.🫜🌱🥾

Farmworkers spend long days working in wet, muddy fields which increases their exposure to fungal foot infections. Proper work boots are an essential protection helping keep feet dry while improving traction, stability, and overall support throughout the workday.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers who helped purchase, organize, and distribute the boots. We are grateful to Muranaka Farms for matching our donations, which made it possible to provide boots to more farmworkers. Partnerships like this help us expand our impact, and we look forward to working with more local farms in the future to support the health, safety, and well-being of our farmworker community. 💚

Earlier this week we hosted a successful clothing drive at Dolores Huerta Gardens! 👚👖🧥👕 We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community. Farmworker families were able to “shop” for free clothing, shoes, and accessories during our clothing drive.

This event would not have been possible without the support of our incredible partners and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who donated new and gently used items. Ventura County Public Health joined us to provide free health screenings and share valuable health resources with residents. Ventura County Credit Union generously helped sort and organize clothing donations alongside our volunteers. We are grateful to Cabrillo Economic Development for partnering with us to make this event a success. Together, we continue to support and uplift our farmworker community.

"Ceci" is harvesting brussel sprouts in Oxnard CA. "It’s extremely grueling work. When it’s hot I run into snakes and animals that make their way in between plants. This making it difficult to work comfortably. But I earn $18/hour and this provides for my family."

🆕 Update on Pablo
Earlier this year we shared Pablo’s story and it was picked up by various media outlets. Pablo was a Ventura County farmworker deported in 2025. His family shared that he is non verbal, unable to read and has serious hearing impairment, with only 20% hearing in one ear and none in another. Due to his inability to communicate, his family maintains that he was unable to receive due process at the time of his deportation.

First and foremost, his family members would like to thank all who donated.
For those interested in an update: the family still prioritizes an attorney to help Pablo’s case, however given the high cost, they are taking a small break to take essential items to him in Oaxaca. One of those items will be an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) device which is an advanced application that can be accessed on a tablet. An AAC uses images, (similar to emojis that Pablo is used to) and projects sentences that can heard by those nearby. Our goal is to teach Pablo’s family how to use this device so they can get it to him this summer, and pass on the training to Pablo and his mother. If you would like to donate on Pablo’s link, funds raised will go towards the device and anything left over will go to his family. If you are bilingual and an expert on AAC devices with an interest in facilitating training, please contact us directly. 💚
